Annual Report 21/8/2003

President’s Report.

It is my pleasure to present to you the 16th annual report of the Taieri Recreational Club.

Throughout the 2002/2003 year we have had some very enjoyable Wednesday tramps with the weather being particularly kind, resulting in only one cancellation as I recollect.

I want to acknowledge especially the  track committee who meet twice year to allocate 100 tramps for our two major walking groups, assigning leaders, indicating degree of difficulty and anticipating seasonal and lambing conditions. Some other groups have to plan for only 25 tramps for the year.

I want too to acknowledge the responsibility of tramp leaders in willingly accepting their role, faithfully doing the recces, considerately seeing permission from land owners and courteously phoning the club’s thanks after tramp.

Over the last year Trampers & Hikers each averaged 12 turning out per Wednesday, the Ramblers averaged 3 & an average of 29 turned out for Combined walks.

Financial membership. 82? including  4 Life Members. (Resignations: Elaine Day, Mairie Jenkins,  Mary Lawlor, Evelyn Miller.)

Our end of year and mid-winter lunches provided fitting ways to mark the occasions, with a wonderful number at the midwinter lunch, even if only a few stumped out for the St Clair street-walk of the day, of which a considerable proportion were some sterling Ramblers.

We had a week-day camp at Timaru in November with Claude & Lesley planning an excellent variety of walks to suit everyone. We came away knowing a great deal more about Timaru and its surrounds.

The highlight of a weekend camp at Tautuku Outdoor Education Centre Camp, with walks ably led by Lex was a circumperambulation of Tautuku Peninsula with sights of magnificent coastal rock formations to reward us. On the return trip with the majority fording across the Tautuku stream bar, the boat ferry was made a bit redundant but some of us had to return it!

A bus trip to Middlemarch to visit the Redan Crater and Sutton Salt Lake resulted in a comfortably full bus, with trampers of varying ability walking within their comfort zones. The journey began wet but the walking was dry if very windy. Thanks to Bob for his leadership.

The highlight of the year has to go to the Club’s 15th Birthday Celebration in February.  I can only repeat the appreciation we expressed then to Colleen for the excellent arrangements that made the occasion the success it was. The number of former members attending was a lovely surprise. The photo album is marvellous, thank to Bill. (Hands up those who haven’t seen through it yet).

Lastly I express thanks to the Committee who have shared in the responsibility of guiding the club through the year. We sadly farewelled Claude off the committee in February. I refrain from thanking Nelson at this point as we wish to thank him more suitably later in the agenda. – Ian Fleming

[Attachment:

 

CONSTITUTION OF THE TAIERI RECREATIONAL TRAMPING CLUB
RECOMMENDATION 1. Add after “CLUB” the words “AS AT 16/8/2003” This will distinguish the current constitution from any previous one.
Moved F Weedon, seconded A Heenan. CARRIED.

 

2. Unless a contrary intention appears “Club” means Taieri Recreational Tramping Club; “Committee” means the Committee for the time being, appointed under Rule 11. Words importing the masculine gender only, include the feminine gender, words importing the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.
RECOMMENDATION 2. Amend the number “11” to “9”. (Rule 9, not rule 11 states inter alia “The entire management of the Club….shall be deputed to a Committee consisting of a PRESIDENT…” &c. Rule 11 states only that “A meeting of the Committee may be called at any time….”
Moved D Moir, seconded W Bathgate. CARRIED.

 

MEMBERSHIP

 

4. (a) The membership shall be limited to such a number as the Committee may from time to time determine. (Amended -/8/19–).
(b) The minimum joining age for the Club shall be 55 years and over,  with preference given to Taieri District residents. (Amended -/8/19–)
RECOMMENDATION 3. Insert after the word “over” the following “or as the Committee shall from time to time determine”. Present wording is too limiting.
Moved N Taiaroa, seconded I Morrison. CARRIED.

Moved D McEwan, seconded L Weedon. CARRIED.

Moved A Heenan. Seconded L Weedon. CARRIED.

 

9. … Committee consisting of a PRESIDENT, VICE RESIDENT, SECRETARY/TREASURER ….
RECOMMENDATION 6. Add after “VICE PRESIDENT, the words “IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT“. This brings the rule into conformation with present practice.
Moved P Chisholm. Seconded P Bathgate. CARRIED.

 

RECOMMENDATION 7. Alter the words SECRETARY/TREASURER to “SECRETARY, TREASURER“. This removes the implication that the positions have to be combined although they may well e. Not every sexcretary has treasurer skills and v.v.
AMENDMENT: “SECRETARY/TREASURER OR SECRETARY AND TREASURER.”
Moved N Taiaroa, seconded J Allen. CARRIED.

 

RECOMMENDATION 8. DELETE THE WORDS “CHIEF GUIDE” and “SAFETY OFFICER”. This brings the rule into conformation with present practice.

RECOMMENDATION 11. Repeal clauses 10 (c) and 10 (d). (See recommendation to clause 9 above.)

 

17. At all meetings the chair shall be taken by the President of present, failing him by the Vice President of present….
RECOMMENDATION 12. Alter the words following the two occurrences of “PResident” for “of” to “if”. “Of” in this context does not make sense.
Moved A Heenan, seconded F Weedon. CARRIED.

 

17. … Voting shall be by show of hand.
RECOMMENDATION 13. Insert after “Voting shall” the word “normally. This allows for other forms of voting, such as voice on the one hand or secret ballot on the other.
Moved D McEwan, seconded B Harvey. CARRIED.

 

21 (c) She shall keep all entries in such books properly up to date.
RECOMMENDATION 14. Alter the word “She” to “He”. This allows for the possibility of the Secretary to be male and conforms to the wording in rule number 2.
