  • Meeting on Tuesday: Winter Tramping!

    Hey guys,

    come along to the meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday) to hear me rant a bit about winter tramping and why it is cool. In particular there will be some information on the mid-winter trip going to the South Island for a week in July, and the preceding Alpine Instruction Course held at the end of June on Mt Ruapehu to get people up to speed with tramping in snow.

    So if your interested in either of these trips (or future winter climbing/tramping trips to the snow) I would recommend you come along to hear about them and express your interest. If you can't make it, keep an eye on the website for more details of these trips and how to sign up.

    Cheers,

    Kieran

  • Welcome to 2010

    The new year is upon us and another great tramping, climbing adventure year is ahead of us.  While the club is in a more causal summer mode but there are piles of trips going on and with fun interesting things happening such as climbing, tramping, biking, BBQ’s, parties and drinking.  So if you are keen for stuff keep an eye on the club forums and come along to the club meetings to see what is brewing.  The club will of course be kicking into full steam in March when uni is back and we will be meeting back up at the uni with a couple of organised trips going away every weekend. 

     

    Meetings

     

    Our usual summer meeting place is the Welsh dragon bar on Kent and Cambridge terrace.  But seeing as it is supposed to be summer we are having a January BBQ series. So for the rest of the month there will be a BBQ at someone’s house or flat starting from 6:30pm on tuesday nights.  All you need to do is bring yourself, something to BBQ or eat and some beverages to drink.  If you haven’t been along to the club before it is a great chance to meet some people and hopefully enjoy some summer.  There should be people driving from town each week and this will be posted on the website

     

    Next week:  The BBQ will be at Jeremy's– It is in Karori somewhere, in fact at 4 Natalie Way, Karori see post for details on how to get there.

  • Meetings at the Welsh Dragon at 7:30 on Tuesdays.

    Hey Munters!

    It's summer again and this means we get our bums kicked out of the union buildings. So what else is there to do when you get kicked out on your bum? Go to the pub of course! Yes, it's that time of year again where we will be having our meetings at the Welsh Dragon, on the middle of Cambridge Terrace & Kent Terrace. It is a great, cozy little pub with their fair share of decent beers. And, for all you paupers, there is plenty of free water on tap.

     Look forward to seeing all you cool cats there,

     Adam
