EDIT: Sorry for the continued spam about this event. There have been some changes. Summary, if you already know what was planned:
- Location changed to UTS (CB11.03.301). Unfortunately, booking at the Forest Lodge Hotel didn’t work out.
- We’ll offer free pizza/dinner of some sort.
- We’ll refund tickets, as this is now a free event. If you bought a ticket, no need to sign up again, we already know you’re coming. If you didn’t, sign up to this trip posting for numbers.
- Brendon Flanagan will no longer be presenting. But that’s ok, we have plenty of cool presentations from within our clubs!
- SUSS will now be joining us too!

Welcome to the second Hunger Games! I mean… Interclub Story Night! Six months ago, we hosted a night at UTS where adventurers from a bunch of uni outdoor clubs presented stories about their epic adventures. This time, we’ll be doing a similar thing, but at the Forest Lodge Hotel (the bookable back room, where they have a projector) back at UTS.

HOW TO SIGN UP
No need to sign up here. Instead, register your attendance by purchasing a ticket. Tickets are $5, and their main purpose is to discourage no-shows. There are a total of 60 tickets for all the clubs, and they will be given out on a first-come-first-serve basis, so book fast!
Sign up to this trip posting, just so we can gauge numbers. If you bought a ticket before, you’ll be refunded, and you don’t need to sign up again (I already know you’re coming).
FOOD AND DRINK
Snacks and sides will be paid for.You’ll order your own mains and drinks there.- We’ll supply food and drink (fast-food style, probably pizza) for free for everyone.
- You’re welcome to bring a few drinks if you’re a little discreet about it.
AGENDA
This time, we’ll aim for a split of bigger long-form stories, and smaller, more local short-form stories. We’ll also be welcoming a guest speaker, Brendon Flanagan (an ex-president of our club and a key member of the Australian School of Mountaineering), to give a presentation about the journey of writing his new book, The Australian Climbing Handbook. The below timings are just a very rough guide.
- 5:30pm doors open.
- 6:00pm short stories about local trips start.
6:45pm Brendon’s presentation.- 7:00pm food and chat break.
- 7:30pm longer stories about bigger adventures.
- 8:30pm wrap up the presentations, people are welcome to sit around and socialise a bit longer.
