Social Corner – July 2012

1 2The winners and runners up of each category in the annual WTMC photographic competition were entered into the FMC’s annual photo competition in April.

The FMC announced the winners at their AGM in June: Big congratulations to Spencer Clubb and Ian Harrison. Spencer’s photo “morning light at Mountain House” won the Below Bushline category. Ian’s photo of a Buller’s Albatross in Doubtful Sound was runner-up in the Native flora and fauna category. Spencer also won “Overall Winner” of the FMC photo competition. A great result!

Don’t forget to take your camera with you when out and about over the winter – we’ll be holding another photo competition early next year.

Great to see good turnouts on a club night despite the awful weather! I’m looking for more speakers for the end of July onwards; please get in touch if you have an adventure you’d like to tell us about.

Coming up over the next few weeks:

• 4th July Sue Walsh takes us exploring the Catlins, Te Anau, Milford and Fox
Glacier.
• 11th July Kate Cushing is abandoning us (temporarily we hope!) to go and live on
Christmas Island while volunteering with Voluntary Services Abroad.
Come and hear about Kate’s forthcoming adventure.
• 18th July Could be you! Please get in touch if you’d like to talk to us/show some
us slides of your adventures.

Happy tramping!
