Hi all, Due to technical difficulties (a locked door) the presentation last week didn't occur so will actually happen tonight - it is a presentation on winter tramping, including details for AIC 1 (Alpine Instruction Course) and the 7 day mid-winter trip to Lewis Pass in the South Island. If you can't make the meeting ...

Hey guys, The week long midwinter trip to Lewis Pass in the South Island is coming up fast - just a month away! If you're interested please sign up soon so we can start sorting out transport - either by emailing me at patonomatic@gmail.com or by turning up to the Tuesday meeting and having a word. It's definitely one of the best tramps ...

Hey guys, come along to the meeting tomorrow night (Tuesday) to hear me rant a bit about winter tramping and why it is cool.

Hey just a reminder for anyone wanting to go skiing (or boarding) on Ruapehu this winter, that cheap season passes need to be bought by next Monday May 3.

See http://www.nzalpine.wellington.net.nz/?page_id=2858 for more details of the sessions. Its usually pretty spectacular and well worth going to. I'll probably go to the Tuesday one as it has got all the wintry stuff (skiing ice ...

Oh and as Hazel has just astutely pointed out, $10 may not get you a whopping great number of cocktails (do the maths on $30-40 bottles of spirits + mixers, etc), so if you're a thirsty soul you may want to consider bringing some supplementary alcoholic beverages of your own :)

Hey all, yes we're finally having a party! This is a rather delayed birthday celebration for me, Jess, Mikey and Manoel, and since we've not really had a flat warming its doubling as that too. There's a cocktail theme, so break out those cocktail dresses and tuxes (if you have such things) and come prepared for some creative concoctions! Also ...
