The Bugle is a famous piece of club apparatus, rediscovered and popularised by the club in 2022. It was brought on many hikes and is identifiable by the Mountaineering Club sticker near the horn end, and a leather strap handle. It has been experimentally verified to be capable of producing 3 distinct notes, though some theorise it is capable of more.
History
The Bugle was purchased in a second-hand shop by Fionn Delahunty and was the Rover Bugle. It's life before the second-hand shop is lost to time. The bugle made occasional appearances in the years that followed. Chael O Brien is documented for brining the Bugle on the clubs weekly hikes.
In 2022 Jack Reidy came into possession of the bugle and it became the Mountaineering Cub Bugle. It came on all the hikes and its call could be heard across the mountains and valleys of Connemara and the Kingfisher. During this time the current members of the club were unaware of the Rover legacy of the bugle and thought it was the Mountaineering Club bugle.
Controversy
The bugle was brought to the 2022/23 Semester 1 Club Trip to Buncranna in Donegal. During a particularly wet hike, the mountaineering club sticker on the bugle peeled away to reveal a rover soc sticker below. This created quite a stir causing Rover Soc to claim the bugle as theirs and the Mountaineering Cub insisted it belonged to the club.
During the first Maamturks 2023 Planning meeting in November 2022, Aodhán asked Fionn about the history of the bugle. He revealed that it was originally the Rover Soc Bugle.
Legacy
In January 2023, Rover Soc purchased a cow horn from a far-right french scout shop under the guise of buying neckers. While this horn looks very cool and is easier to play. It is only capable of one note.
In February 2023, Jack Reidy acquired a new bugle from his Grandfathers house which is supposedly even more difficult to play than the original
