From the President’s desk President’s Report April 2025 Time stops for no one and nor does the rain currently it seems! Fingers crossed these weather extremes that we have experienced this year will bring a heavy dumping of snow this season! As the new committee settles into the different allocated roles, the usual annual administrative things tick over. You will have noticed that your membership invoice was issued on the 1st April, and a week or so later for those of you who have lockers, this invoice was sent out separately. Unfortunately, the system won’t let us add the locker […]

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.

From the President’s Desk Season’s greeting clubbies! Hope you have some fun, relaxation & some great activities planned for the summer break! As some of you may be aware we had to change the club night for December, and sadly the numbers were quite significantly reduced, so moving forward we are going to keep club night to the first Thursday of the month as per usual. This means the February club night will be 6th February with the traditional social BBQ at the river. See below for the details, and keep an eye out on Facebook, too. Congrats to Jeremy […]

From the President’s Desk Our year is coming to a close rapidly, I do hope you have been able to enjoy the maunga in the snow season even though it was a brief period?!
