And write about them here and add photos like this... ...from the gallery here by clicking the content selector button  in the editor. NB this is not in the south island, except for the smelly tramper on the right who probably is by now :) (thats bound to get a response)

Hey all, The meeting this Tuesday will be at the Welsh Dragon Bar again from 8pm (middle of the road at the end of Courtney Place). It seems like everyone I talked to thought it was a pretty good place to hang out so I reckon we'll stick with it for our weekly meetings over summer. So come along on Tuesdays for a few beers, a catch up and to ...

On that note my rough plans are as follows: Take my car down on 27th December (up to 5 people), head over to Takaka for a few days rock climbing/lying in sun/short tramps/drinking and spend new years in Golden Bay somewhere. Then start of January (2nd or 3rd) head south for possible Stewart Island trip. This would probably not be the north west ...

Hey with all the people going to be down south over the next few months, would be good to get an idea of what people are up to (and when) so we can coordinate some cool trips! So post details here (or email me) of when your going to be down there, what you want to do (and how flexible you are), whether you have transport, accommodation etc. And ...

Hey everyone, there'll be an awesome view of the fireworks display from our deck on Monday night so feel free to come round and watch! Did I say free? Actually we were thinking of selling tickets :) - but a donation of alcohol, fireworks or yummy desserts would be appreciated by all! Display starts at 9pm I think so come round from ...

Hey James, think there'll be a few of us down that way then! Have done Mt Arthur itself twice now in winter, and its fairly easy then - poled route pretty much all the way up, and another one across horseshoe basin towards Gordon's pyramid and the tablelands. So shouldn't have any issues in Summer! The tablelands is quite a nice ...

Thanks Sam, will keep it in mind - we're going to try the Welsh Dragon Bar (on Darren's recommendation) for a week or two and if that doesn't work out we'll look round for somewhere else. Another option when it gets warmer is just to have meetings outside somewhere (a bit weather dependent naturally) and just drink beer in the sun, kick a ball ...
