2009 is upon SUSAC, it's time to get ourselves ready for a packed summer of diving.

Info updates for Gozo-ers will be soon, I know Lochaline plotting is well underway and there are lots of other smaller expeditions we need to get organising - if there's somewhere you want to go or something you want to try ask around and find some others who're interested too - there might even be a few old sea dogs around who've been there before.

Ross is trying to get us all being nice and friendly to each other with weekly monday night socials in addition to the post-training Cobden sessions. It sounds like we'll be visiting other drinking establishments (yes Rich, there are other pubs) to see if they can match the wonders of our long term local. We'll be broading our horizions every other Monday to pubs around Sheffield matching two important criteria: not too much din to be able to hear the tales of our old sea dogs and at least 2 decent options on tap (suggestions to Ross please) - and returning to the comfort of the Cobbie the other weeks. Look out for Ross's emails and facebook updates to find out where.
