Pirates of the Caribbean 3 Launch Party, Friday 25th May 2007, 8 till late

Blistering Barnacles, Grad Bar, known for its Jolly Roger and independent approach to partying and drinking, is raising the skull and cross bones once again, this time for the 25th of May, celebrating the fact that Capt Jack Sparrow is again returning to the screen. The night will have lots of tropical cocktails on offer, both alchoholic and non-alchoholic, and of course fountains of good ale and rum. That night the previous carribean films will be shown on the big screen, plus dressing up as pirates is encouraged but optional. A grand way to break up that heavy studying.

Scarborough, Saturday 26th May 2007

The trip is £ 13 per ticket. The details are as follows:

7:15 Infirmary pickup

7:30 Pendle Avenue pickup

18:30 Return

Tickets are on sale at the GSA office. For more information please contact Irina at: ( gsa_assistant@hotmail.com )

GSA Trip to Skipton and Ingleton Falls

Saturday March 10th 2007

£ 8 per person

8:45 Infirmary pick up

9:00 Pendle Avenue Campus pick up - departure to Ingleton Falls

13:00 Departure from Ingleton to Skipton

17:30 Departure from Skipton to Lancaster

A 2 part trip to: Skipton, a historic market town with a castle, cobbled streets, ducks and canal boats; and nearby Ingleton Falls, a pleasant walk with spectacular scenery.

We suggest for this trip that you take a waterproof coat and sensible walking shoes/boots (not high heels or flip flops!) as the weather at this time of year is changeable and it can become slippery underfoot.

The price includes the bus fare only – not the entrance fee for the falls walk (£ 3.50).

Penrith, Ullswater, Keswick

14 April 2007

Visit Penrith, a bustling market town; then take a steamer across gorgeous Ullswater lake with its spectacular views, and finally Keswick, a town in an idyllic location.

Penrith is renowned for its wealth of specialist shops offering an interesting choice of goods and fine foods. Sandstone buildings hide intriguing lanes, yards and alleyways, leading to attractive cottages, gardens and curious little shops. Not far from Penrith are Brougham Castle, Mayburgh Henge and King Arthur's Round Table.

Ullswater is a spectacular lake with a mirrored surface and magnificent vistas looking onto a gently curving shoreline of green fields, woodlands and sheer rock faces rising from the lake. It is also the source of inspiration for William Wordsworth's famous daffodil poem.

£ 13 (including all coach and steamer fares)
