What's wrong with my model?

[eluser]Kemik[/eluser]
Hello all,

I'm pulling a list of fixtures from my database using a model.

Here's a simple version of my view file:

Code:

<?php $this->load->model('Menu_model', 'menu'); ?>

        <div id="rightbar">
            &lt;?php $query = $this->menu->get_fixtures(); ?&gt;
            <div class="boxheader">UPCOMING MATCHES</div>
            <div class="boxtext">
            &lt;?php if ($query->num_rows() < 1): ?&gt;
            <a href="#" class="boxlink">- No upcoming matches</a>
            &lt;?php else: ?&gt;
            &lt;?php foreach ($query->result_array() as $row): ?&gt;
            <a href="&lt;?php echo site_url("challenge/info/$row->challenge_id"); ?&gt;"><img src="&lt;?php echo base_url(); ?&gt;images/icons/zoom.png" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="Challenge Info" /></a> <a href="&lt;?php echo site_url("clan/profile/$clana_id"); ?&gt;">[&lt;?php echo $clana; ?&gt;]</a> vs <a href="&lt;?php echo site_url("clan/profile/$clanb_id"); ?&gt;">[&lt;?php echo $clanb; ?&gt;]</a>
            &lt;?php endforeach;
            endif; ?&gt;
            
            
            </div>
</div>

Now from my menu_model.php

Code:

<?php
class Menu_model extends Model {

    function Menu_model()
    {
        // Call the Model constructor
        parent::Model();
    }
    
    function get_fixtures()
    {
        $query = "SELECT lc.challenge_id, lc.datetime, lc.clan_id_a, lc.clan_id_b, ca.clan_id as clanid_a, ca.tag as clana, cb.clan_id as clanid_b, cb.tag as clanb
               FROM ladder_challenges AS lc
               LEFT JOIN clans AS ca ON lc.clan_id_a = c.clan_id
               LEFT JOIN clans AS cb ON lc.clan_id_b = c.clan_id
               WHERE accepted = '1'
               ORDER BY datetime
               LIMIT 0, 4";
        return $query = $this->db->query($query);
    }
}
?>

I keep getting Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in menus.php

Anyone have any idea where I'm going wrong?

Thanks.
