Most club members will know we have a lodge at Mt Ruapehu. Many of you will have stayed there. But the lodge didn’t just materialize in the form it is now—it is the result of a very large number of days of volunteer effort over many years, both in raising funds and organizing, together with the manual labour required on site.
The lodge sub-committee considered that the sacrifices in time and effort of past members should not be forgotten by users today when they are resting comfortably in the lounge after a day’s skiing, climbing, tramping or other outdoor activity on the mountain. So, we have produced a small on-line booklet, ‘A brief history 1952 to 2022’, and you can click the image below to view a copy. We will have hardcopy versions available free to interested members after the AGM.
