Editor's Bit
This will be the last Baaa for the year, and my last Baaa forever!
Thanks heaps to Tess, for her help this year with Baaa and her efforts at extracting articles
out of reluctant TC members. I found my job as Publicity Officer this year much easier than
that of Assistant Publicity Officer last year simply because of having some help and having
enthusiastic members willing to contribute articles and photos for Baaa and Heels.
It makes the job so much easier, so thanks to everyone for their contributions and good luck to
Tess and Richie who will be in charge of publications for the next year.
Don't forget to keep articles coming, articles for trips that have happened this year
forward them to me, and from the new year onwards forward them to either Tess or Richie,
who will no doubt be very eager to receive them.
Enjoy the tramping and climbing over the summer, remember there is always heaps to do.
Even if there's a trip that's not on the "official" summer calendar (see page 7) feel free
to suggest it at one of our meetings, or e-mail/phone Eric, as there's always people keen
to see new places and get to some of those out of the way huts.
Cheers, Catherine
