We are all looking forward to seeing everyone next weekend at the Hut Birthday celebrations for Tahurangi Lodge’s 50th Birthday. Join us for a Pot Luck lunch at the Camp House at North Egmont on Monday 4 June from 12 noon to 3 pm, including the traditional cake cutting. We have chosen the Camp House venue this year to enable all members, past and present, young and old, to be able to join us. Please spread the word to any past members who may like to join us for these special celebrations. Further details elsewhere in this HiTac. The recent […]

Annual invoices for subs, locker rental and ekey hire have now been mailed out to your physical mail box. Please make your online payment promptly and include your name as reference. If you have not received your invoice yet, perhaps you have moved house in the last twelve months? If so, email the Treasurer with your new address so we can get your invoice to you.

Could all members please make sure you have submitted any Open Climb feedback to me. We are looking at a couple of important changes for future Open Climbs.

A big thank you to all those members who made themselves available for the Open Climb last weekend. Unfortunately a disappointing weekend for club members and participants alike, as the weather didn’t play ball. Due to the decision not to attempt the event on the Sunday, we have offered participants a 90% refund of their fee, as a matter of good faith. Many participants have still opted to donate their fee to us, and we also gave people the option of transferring their fee to 2019 Open Climb, which some have chosen to do. Just a reminder, the club’s AGM […]

Happy new year everyone and welcome to 2018. First up is the Club Barbecue on Thursday 1st February at 6.00 pm at the usual venue Audrey Gale Reserve, Merrilands Domain.

The Open Climb registrations opened early December and at the time of writing there are 132 participants registered. Registrations are coming in steadily so it is quite possible that the event will be fully booked with 200 participants. For those helping out on the […]
