Annual Report 2005

PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2005

 

It is my pleasure to present to you the 18th Annual Report of the Taieri Recreational Tramping Club.

 

Over the past year our Club has continued to enjoy a successful tramping programme, with only 3 Wednesdays cancelled due to bad weather. The turn out each day has been very good, with an average of 27 – made up of 14 Trampers, 11 Hikers and 2 Ramblers.

 

Once again the Christmas Lunch was at Harwood with 25 attending. And the mid-winter lunch at the Hotel Taieri was again very well supported, about 53 enjoying a good meal together.

 

Camps – There were 2 camps in November which unfortunately overlapped each other slightly. However 11 ent to Borland and 18 to Albertown. All enjoyed good tramping at these camps. In February only 9 went to Pounawe for an enjoyable camp.

 

The April camp at Gore was very ably led by Dorothy and Tom Stratton, who had made contact with members of the Hokonui Tramping Club to assist with their recces. 16 attended what proved to be a very enjoyable camp.

 

Bus Trips – In December 35 went to Trotters Gorge, where the problem of trying to accommodate a long tramp for the Trampers and a shorter one for the Hikers was noticeable, as some had a long wait for the last ones to arrive back at the bus. Happily the trip to the Rail Trail up  past Hyde was much better coordinated, 38 enjoying that day away.

 

Financial Membership for the year was 91 including 5 Life Memberships. Unfortunately we had to accept the resignation of Kerry walker, but on a happier note we welcomed 5 new members: Jacqui O’Donnell, Tash Hurst, Evelyn and Bob Entwistle and Lois Fenton.

 

I want to acknowledge the good work of the Track Committee who met twice during the year to sort out the Club’s Tramping Programme for the 2 main groups. Thank you also to the weekly tramp leaders for carrying out their duties of seeking land-owners’ permission (and thanking them afterwards); doing the recces and leading on the day, etc. Thank you also to Colleen initially and then Peter for turning up each week at the car park to take the roll call.

 

I want to say a very special thank you to those who served on the Committee for their contribution over the past year, and in particular I wish to acknowledge the work done by our very able secretary Dorothy.

 

My final thanks go to those who stood in for myself on various occasions when I was unable to attend due to work commitments.

 

I finish my report by commenting on the gap that exists between the Hikers and the Trampers because of the different physical ambitions of the two groups. I future I can foresee than on occasion separate camps may be needed to satisfy all, even though it divides the club to some degree. I ask you all to consider this from both sides for the good of the club.

 

Thank you and Happy Tramping. – Arthur Heenan – August 2005.

Chalkies Loop, Dodds Gully

8. [chat] with the owner of one of the houses up the Chalkies track road. He tells us that the grumpy one has now gone, & the new owners are quite ok with groups like ours going down [or up] the track through their properties, then down [or up] their driveway. I think permission should still be sought first though, especially for the first time at least. – Ken, date 10/9/2014.
