From the President’s Desk
Tēnā Koutou
Autumn is in the air, the maunga had a very small sprinkling of snow overnight! Fingers crossed we might be in for a load of snow this winter.
The AGM has been and gone with a few new faces joining the executive committee – welcome to Janica, Katyana & Rachel who has taken on the role of Trips Co-Ordinator.
You may notice next time you’re at the lodge that the deck maintenance has been completed. The boys lifted the deck, removed the rust, cleaned up all the metal brackets, applied special anti-rust coating to these areas. Then, to make it pretty, they applied two coats of epoxy paint for the finishing touches before lowering the deck back to the ground. A huge thank you to the small crew that carried out this mahi!
Keep an eye on our Facebook page for upcoming events that you can get involved in.
Just a heads up with parking at Taranaki Visitors Centre located at the end of Egmont Road. Work to replace the aging Visitor Centre is underway. A temporary portable building is being set up by the viewing platform during the period while the old centre is demolished and then replaced with a new structure. A couple of the car parks in the upper car parking area will be unavailable, so I am suggesting that members may consider using the lower carparking area to avoid any inconvenience with trucks etc. getting this set up.
If you have any queries about anything, I am always happy to listen and have a chat.
Enjoy the last of the summer evenings!
Sheryl Hamilton
Madam President
