Hi all,

Firstly I want to say that a lot of you owe me trip reports... Yes you know who you are. All of you that took my chocolate and never wrote me a teeny little trip report. Please get on to it or I will start thinking up embarrassing consequences and believe me you will regret making a fool of me and abusing my trust :)

On to more interesting issues tonights meeting is going to be a super happy fun time. I have an activity planned which should result in more than just a few laughs so don't miss out.

Hi all,

It's still Uni holidays (I wish I was a student!!!) so we're still at the Welsh Dragon this week. Come along to sign up for my awesome trip to Mungahuka Hut this weekend!!! 

Hi all,

This week and probably again in another two weeks we'll be designed the club t-shirts. Every year the club comes up with a t-shirt design which we'll get made up and members can then buy from the club.

Check here for some ideas that came up last year: http://vuwtc.org.nz/cs/photos/tshirt2008/default.aspx

So have a think about what could be a cool and distinctly VUWTC design and you could get immortalised on the 2009 club t-shirt.

Hi all,

Second semester is upon us. We'll be meeting back at the University in the Student Union building this week.

I'm running a trip or two or three (depending on numbers) into the Rimutakas this weekend. It's just a day trip and we'll choose the day depending on the weather. Ideally we'll have a couple of easier options and then I'll be leading a fitter group to Mt Matthews and back.

Hi all,

Since the University has closed up shop for the semester (save for exams) we'll be meeting at the Welsh Dragon pub each week until July.

Tuesdays from 7:30pm.
Welsh Dragon
Cnr Courtney Place and Cambridge Terrace

This weekend we have the possibility of a Southern Crossing in the Tararuas or a days climbing out a Baring Head if the weather is good

This weekend is bushball!!!!

The number one social event of the year! It's open invitation so bring all your friends and flatties. Tickets only $10 which go towards getting you a fantastic location, stereo, lights, food and refreshments. The more people that come along the better the event will be! Tickets can be purchased at the meeting on Tuesday or, if necessary, before you leave on Saturday.

If you're coming simply show up on Saturday at Hunter carpark at  1:30pm and the rest will be sorted for you :)

This weeks meeting is full of exciting events as a bit of a warm up to Bush Ball. We're also fund raising for charity so bring along a few coins for some betting fun with all proceeds going to charity.

Who is the clubs champion arm wrestler?
Who can perform the fastest table traverse?
The ultimate 2L challenge race?!?!?!
and more exciting tramping / Bush Ball orientated events...

This weekend we have the first Gourmet trip of the year. Gourmet this year will involve a fairly short and easy walk to a good sized hut (yet to be decided), and preparation of gourmet tramping food for a dinner of kingly proportions. And of course such a feast will be accompanied by a good few tasty beverages.

If this sounds like fun to you then come along on Tuesday (back up at the University) to find out more and to sign up. If you can't make it to the meeting please get in touch with the organiser, Morgan (morgan_84@msn.com), directly.

We'll be annoucing the special deals that RnR have put together for the gear buy night at this weeks meeting too...
