President’s Desk If you haven’t seen them already, do take a look at the photos on the club’s Facebook page of the huge avalanche that swept down through Hongis last Saturday night; certainly generating a lot of comment! The only Level Two Snowcraft Course has now been held and Chris tells me both Level One courses are fully booked. The Caving trip has also proved popular and is also now fully booked, thanks Alec, Greg and Sophie. Don’t forget to contact Sophie if you are interested in heading over to Central Plateau during the weekend of 16-18 September, also filling up fast. Sophie […]

There’s just one week left to pay your sub without incurring a 20% penalty. There are still a few outstanding, so please get these paid promptly. On that note, one of our members has expressed an interest in taking on the Treasurer’s role, so do your bit and make life easier for her! Tahurangi Lodge lockers – Most of those members who have lockers at the Lodge make great use of them, however […]

President’s Desk The club is urgently looking for a new Treasurer. This is not a particularly onerous task, and no special skills are required. The club uses a very user-friendly cashbook system called Banklink, and the other part of this job is maintaining the Membership Database. Please contact me if you think you might be able to help out. After being without a Trips Officer for some time, we are thrilled that newly elected Exec member Sophie Tucker has offered to take on this role. Sophie is enthusiastically planning some winter trips out of Taranaki, so watch the Facebook page […]
