Presidents Report
A big thanks and congratulations to the TAC members who donated their time & passion for supporting the club on 14th February. We had 70 punters and 60 volunteers and NO incidents! Wahoo. We just managed to sneak the event in between two weather fronts! I have signed off the paperwork, washed all the vests and towels etc, so I can pack everything away until September when I will the process all over again!
With the publicised rescue of 5 people on Sunday 22nd, it is a reminder not to underestimate Taranaki Maunga and how quickly the weather conditions can change. Turning back knowing that your adventure can be attempted again another day is the best choice!
I have completed an audit of our membership database in preparation for the new financial year. Invoices for subscriptions will be automatically trigger by the Hello Club system on the 1st April. I have to manually trigger the locker fees, so keep an eye out for two invoices if you are a locker holder. FYI currently membership sits at 575 members.
We have a new HiTAC editor, Claire Jones has stepping into the role, so get those articles to her. Thanks to Kathy Waterfield who has kept HiTAC rolling over the last couple of years!
The club has a few options for trips to consider, let Rachel know asap, as some trips fill up quickly.
That’s it from me, see you at Club Night!
