I've heard rumours of such a thing but i can't find an explicit referance to it anywhere on the internets

Not as far as I know, but I might be wrong.

I've never heard of that. If they did I'm sure they'd publicise it on their site. Craggy would probably know.

Is anyone else as overjoyed as I am that a Shakeaway opened the other week? It's genius. A 'Dave' milkshake can't be beaten.

It has a bouldering wall inside their gym. I don't think it counts as a climbing wall. I've not been, but I know they use it for training, so its probably a home made set up with mats and grips bolted into some boards. If it is this sort of thing, then it makes sense they wouldn't publicise it, as it wouldn't really be suitable for a large number of users.
If you sign up to CUMC mailing list along with all the freshers this year, they'll send you incessant emails. They train there on Monday nights and seem to go to Mile End on Wednesday night organising car shares. And they seem to go out on rock a huge deal, plus on multiple other spontaneous London trips too.
It was quite daunting - couldn't figure out if any of them ever worked :p:

Incidentally if you feel like mucking about at Kelsey Kerridge or something similar on an ad hoc basis, let me know. I'd quite like to get back into it, but probably won't be able to be regular again until I graduate :frown:

Yes although I've never used it/even seen it. If Craggy hasn't -Matt- who hasn't posted for a while has definitely used it.

Today's the first I'd heard of it.

Where?

Oh and by the way there's now a new sushi place called the Green Box in Cambridge. On Mill road just beyond the bridge.http://www.localsecrets.com/commercial.cfm?id=12473

Lion's Yard, apparently.

And thanks for the heads up. Do you reckon they'll have any start up deals? May be useful later on this week.

Sorry - the 20% off start up deal has been and gone.
By the way there's not that much seating inside - you could eat there but it's more of a takeaway type place. And when I went they hadn't got card payment working yet so you had to pay with cash. Hopefully they'll have sorted that by now though.

EDIT: but there's a 20% off print out thingy on the site I linked to above....

A sushi-loving friend is coming up for a visit, but he happens to be very averse to spending money on ethical grounds, so I can only ever tempt him to try things if I find them reduced :p:

Yep. it is relatively pricy. But then it's freshly prepared sushi.

Cool thanks- i might email one of their JCR committee. I wanted to know cos i'm climbing officer for king's outdoors club next year and i was trying to find an alternative venue to KK to spice up our weekly bouldering sessions. We don't normally have too many people going so its probably worth a try (particularrly if its big enough for cumc to train on.

I had a look in at the CUWHC (?) squash last year but they didn't seem that welcoming and i have just too much work to manage to make any of the weekend trips (if i do have a quite weekend i don't tend to know till the friday which is a bit late) so i didn't bother joining. CUMC seems a bit hardcore :dontknow:

yeah that'd be cool- I'm always up for a session. we'll have to sort something out when i'm back in cam. I'm living a little further away this year (in king's fellow's garden near the sidgwick) but peterhouse is on my way to KK anyway. (you can even tag along to king's session at KK if you want)
