Locklyn Price is starting up the "Bouldering Barristers", the UofC Law Climbing Club. If you are interested in joining, please visit the club's Facbook page:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=100226016708614&ref=ts or contact Locklyn at: locklyn.price@gmail.com.

Climbing is all about having fun and challenging yourself, so for those people that want to stay active, but don't want to commit to a team, they can join the climbing club. I'm hopefully going to coordinate making routes, help people pass belay tests and get people to go climbing during their breaks. We may even plan some outdoor climbs once it warms up again. There are no cost/registration requirements. If you do want to go on the Big Wall you have to pass a belay test which is 5 dollars through the Outdoor centre. They also have rental gear available, but you don't technically need climbing gear to get started, (eventually though you will at least want a pair of climbing shoes and a harness if you want to climb at the Big Wall)

The information contained below is in regards to the McLeod and Company Kinball event. Look forward to seeing you there!

The event will start at 6pm on Saturday September 4th. Teams will randomly be created as participants arrive. We will be in the gymnasium at the Hillhurst-Sunnyside Community Association (Click here for a map!) which will be licensed and divided into a playing area for the enthralling sport of Kinball and a 'social' area where you will be given the opportunity to mix and mingle with future classmates and a sampling of upper year students.

What is the sport of Kinball?

Three teams of four compete against each other on the playing surface. The team with possession of the ball screams out "Omnikin" and the color of the team's jerseys they want to score a point against. They team strikes the ball and if it touches the floor both the team striking the ball and the team not required to keep it from touching the floor gain a point. Before striking the ball, three players of the same team must act as a sort of human golf tee by holding the ball up for the fourth player to strike. The ball can also be moved if two players carry the ball (three is not allowed as it signifies a strike is coming).

The sport is harder to explain than it is to simply play it... so don't worry if you're panicked. The University of Calgary excelled at the sport at Law Games in Montreal last year... we have some players who know how to play it relatively well.

What about the proceeds?

Proceeds from the event will be granted back to the students in the form of University of Calgary Bookstore Certificates. The total amount raised and winners will be announced during Orientation on Tuesday, Sept. 7th. (We need the couple of days to tally the costs/revenue of the event).

Is there anything I should know for the event?

* entrance to the event is Free (thanks McLeod & Company)!
* wear running shoes (preferably that don't have black soles as they can mark the floor) and gym clothes (no suits and ties.. you'll get that later!)
* bring a plus one! (there are not many Orientation Events that are plus one friendly... but this one definitely is and it is recommended you bring them!!
* the event runs for 3 hours (until 9pm) and we will ask participants to assist in a quick clean-up... following that... well it will be a Saturday Night with no plans. Enjoy.
* there isn't an ATM at the venue. Bring enough cash for your social needs and a safe ride home if necessary!
* Transit is nearby... there are two buses that stop right in front of the doors of the Hall and the Sunnyside C-Train is about a four block walk away to the East.

Setup

Since we receive the hall at exactly 6:00pm please arrive just a couple of minutes early so we can coordinate table/chair set-up, blow up the ball (it is too big to fit through the doors!), and get the tables set up for beverage sales. Thanks!

If you have any questions please send them to shaundriver@gmail.com.
