Club ActivityThis term, we attempted to run an 'All Wales Freshers Camp' which went withvarying successes... one by one all the other Welsh Clubs dropped out, leaving usunable to a�ord our campsite, having to book a new one a very short notice andgetting washed out by Storm Brian, who a�ectionately won 'Order of the Sheep',only the second inanimate object to win the award topped only by the AV minibuswho gallantly tried to get us to She�eld.

We also ran Freshers Fair, holding a stall and bon�re with Network and GGUK,giving free marshmallows, setting �re to things to celebrate someone who tried toblow up parliament a long time before I was born, and we attempted to try andrun our usual Sunday activites. This includes, but is not limited to: paracord,murder mystery (sorta) and Rally Craft Constructions.

We welcomed lovely new members into our Aber SSAGO family and said goodbyeto some Old Friends, and some of our members attended SSAGO Reunion.

We've also got lots of new people into leadership positions across the districts inboth organisations, and the committee have adapted to working together as agroup :)

Fresher RecruitmentWent well, see above.

Summer

Some members attended SSAGO Reunion, where we got to meet old Aber SSAGOmembers, who were absolutely lovely. We got chatting about how the clubrestarted, talked to the people who restarted it, shared funny stories between usand generally had a good laugh and a small piss-up. The older members werelovely, bought us cupcakes on their day out into town, and apparently cannot waituntil the next joint event (hopefully the 15th Birthday in 2019)!

Upcoming ActivitiesWe're gonna go to Birmingham Christmas Market with a lot of other SSAGOS'ssuch as Birmingham, Wolves and Oxford (apparently). This is gonna be the 25thNovember :)

SuggestionsWhen asked this question, I got the following responses:

'josh smells'

'aber is the best'

club level survey and sale on signup and event registration

online payments for clum transport to rallies and such

Club ActivityBangor BUGS have been up to a range of di�erent activities this term including anight hike, paracord skills,indoor climbing, a cinema trip to see Thor Ragnarokand even a murder mystery themed Halloween party! We've had our usual andsuccessful �nd a role night to pair up volunteers with local guiding and scoutingunits and our freshers camp which was held and maintained throughout StormDoris!

Fresher RecruitmentFrom our recruitment process, namely serendipity, we have gained andmaintained around 10 new freshers! This term has been a success recruitment-wise and we had our usual Freshers camp which was a lot of fun! We did a hikedespite the storm, talks at Cotswold and some 'get me out of here' themedchallenges. (We survived Storm Doris despite other Wales clubs not doing so :P )

Summer

Over the summer we didn't take part in anything as a club apart from a few of ourmembers attended SSAGO summer rally. As guiding/scouting members, a fewrepresented NW Girlguiding during the Manchester pride parade and onemember even went to Uganda as part of a girlguiding project.

Upcoming ActivitiesWe have our usual fun weekly activities and our annual Christmas sleepover! Wewill exchange secret santa gifts, eat a delicious christmas meal and many otherfun activities not yet decided! :)

SuggestionsThere has been a suggestion for a SSAGO scholarship program: to retainmembership! Also a possibility for a SSAGO fund to be set up to help thosevolunteers maintain their volunteering at guiding/scouting units despite �nancialdi�culties.

Fresher RecruitmentWe’ve welcomed lots of new freshers to BUSAG this term and had a greatattendance at the Midlands Freshers camp in Nottingham.

SummerOur committee was busy planning for the new year so we didn’t get up to muchduring the summer, but we’re very excited for the next year of SSAGO events, andhoping to have a great turnout at Spring Rally in London as we are unable to sendmany people to Plymouth’s Autumn Rally.

Bethan Wilson (Expedition Assistant) Claire Astin (Chair)

Jack Furby (Secretary) James Crampton (Social Secretary)

Oliver Tripp (Treasurer) Pollie Van Kesteren (Quartermaster)

Club ActivityThis term Cardi� SSAGS and DofE started o� with intro to DofE which explainedwhat DofE was to new members who wished to work towards the award and theevent ended in a short walk. Next, we had a 24-hour sleepover in which we invitedSwansea SSAGO to join us. Activities during the sleepover included card games,team games and a visit to a local trampoline park. One of our �rst fresher eventswas a white necker pub crawl. On the DofE side of the society we run biweeklytraining sessions and currently have held one training camp.

Fresher RecruitmentWe currently have 23 members of Cardi� SSAGS and DofE with over half of theseare new to the society. Fresher recruitment was good and a large number of ourmembers regularly attend the societies events. We have attended South WestFreshers as a society.

SummerWe attended SSAGO Reunion and 50th Anniversary.

Upcoming ActivitiesOur biggest upcoming event is the annual Christmas meal. This will be a chancefor the society to all come together for one �nal meal before going away for the�nal part of the year. The Christmas meal tends to be one of our more popular

events as a lot of our members live a short distance from University andtherefore cannot make most socials.


Glasgow SSAGOCommitteeAdriana Iuliano (Secretary)

Katie Emmott (President) Maria Elena Roselli (Treasurer)

Club ActivityGlasgow SSAGO has been getting started again after a period of inactivity, andwe're still �nding our feet. Despite this, we've had a really exciting term. After ourFresher's week treasure hunt, we've enjoyed a unicorn challenge badge evening(including ice-breakers, a chance to buy neckies and a fabulous marshmallow-and-spaghetti unicorn statue), and a geocaching adventure around Glasgow.We've also travelled over to Edinburgh to join Indie SSAGO members there toclimb Arthur's Seat, and have co�ee and a meeting in Edinburgh museum.

Fresher RecruitmentA few hiccups as we weren't a�liated with our Student Representative Council,etc. means our Fresher's recruitment was based around �yers and posters oncampus, and a Fresher's Week Treasure Hunt on Sunday morning when itwouldn't clash with any other events. We weren't organised enough to - and weremuch too far from - any Fresher's camps to attend, but we'll de�nitely hope tonext year.

SummerAs we're just getting started after a year of inactivity, as a club we didn't have anything going on over the summer apart from the committee members planningand organising for the term.

Upcoming ActivitiesWe're hoping to do a night-hike, a movie night and an alpaca walk (withEdinburgh Indie SSAGO members) before the end of January, but are stillcon�rming details.

Becky Hopkins (Secretary) Kate Mann (Treasurer)

Katie Dewar (Social Secretary) Paul Furnival (Chair)

Club ActivityThis year we became successfully rati�ed within the terms of the University(wahey!) and had a lot of good meet ups and socials! We've enjoyed a NovemberBBQ Cook Out on a drizzly evening, helped St John Newlands set up and run theiryearly �rework display fundraiser, and began planning for 3 teams to set o�across Europe next summer to complete their Explorer Belt!

Fresher RecruitmentThis year, we've had many new members join up- we must have done somethingright at freshers! It's been great to get people from all stages of their degrees tomeet up, and bond over something as simple as scouting and guiding. We alsohad a good number go to our �rst Northern Freshers Camp- only one of us hadbeen to any sort of SSAGO camp before, so that was a new experience for manyof us!

SummerAs a group, there was nothing excting, but had a few members out in Iceland forthe World Scout Moot, and others running international camps here in the UK.

Upcoming Activities

This year, we're having a pretty relaxed end of the term. We have a chill movienight planned, and a night out on the town in December- but who knows whatwill pop up in the next few weeks!

IndieCommitteeLorna Jackson (Indie Rep)

Club ActivityWe have been recruiting new members and sorting out their membershiprequests. A new London Contingent for Indie members has been set up and is inthe process of getting started.

Fresher RecruitmentThe Fresher's camps were advertised to Indie members although I do not thinkany members attended any. There were a few Indies at SSAGO reunion andIndiana was scared of being left behind on the monopoly run.

Wealso attended the Newcastle under Lyme remembrance parade.

Fresher RecruitmentFreshers went really well for us, we had lots of signups and interest at freshersfair and our membership increased from 6 to 13. Everyone who attended ourtaster sessions has paid and continues to come to meetings. We attended theSNoGS frightening fresher's halloween camp, which was an amazing weekend.We took three freshers with us, all three came back with us, and we managed toconvince two of them to come all the way to rally as a result of the weekend.

SummerAs a club we did not do anything together other than rally and reunion, howeverour members were busy with guiding and scouting. One of our membersattended Gilwell 24 with SSAGO supports, and another did Wellies andWristbands as a guider. One of our members attended Guiding Sta�ordshire'scentenary celebration in July.

We started o� with a couple ofout-and-about activities; leading an urban hike around Bristol, having a camp�reevening in the local park, and being the '�re experts' at UWE's FundraisingFirework event. Since it's got colder we've moved inside and have had an eveningto complete the SSAGO 50th Challenge Badge, a Hallowe'en Extraveganza party,costume planning for 90's Rally, and indoor wide games across campus.

Fresher RecruitmentFreshers' was quite a full-on time for us this year, with 3 campuses Freshers' Fairsattended and meet-and-greets run in each of the campuses' local areas. We ran aGive It a Go survival session - teams competed to light �res, cook food, buildshelters and duct-tape the UoBGAS imposter. We did attend South West Freshers'Camp - but without any Freshers :(.

SummerThe highlight of SaGUWE's summer was when we met up again in June andcamped in Snowdon for a week, making friends with the many sheep that freelyroamed the campsite. Many of our members attended Scout and Guide campsthroughout the summer - Emma survived 5 nights with Beavers and Cubs, Cescawent to Switzerland...

SaGUWE also had a presence at SSAGO supports events, such as Wellies andWristbands and Strategy and Evolution.

Most excitingly, Anna and James took Graham and Percival to Iceland for Moot!
