18 Dec 20178 Dec 2017 by Aimee Paterson

Unfortunately we’re no longer able to store the WTMC vans at the Interislander terminal. We have a short term solution up in Ngaio thanks to Brian our trusty Lodge Convenor but we need to find a more permanent home for them as soon as possible. If you have any suggestions for possible parking locations or … Read more

Van drivers needed

14 May 20178 Apr 2017 by Beccy Day

If you are a safe and confident vehicle driver then please help out by getting yourself registered to drive the club vans. Forms are available here. Remember: Trips may not run if we have insufficient drivers on-board, and clubs like ours only function if everyone helps out.

Transport update

6 Jul 2015 by Richard Lardner

Committee wants to remind all drivers of the club’s policies on driving vehicles on club trips. Travelling to/from the road end is the most dangerous part of any trip. It’s really important that people feel safe and risks are minimised. You can view the WTMC driver protocols in full on the website. I have summarised … Read more

Transport update – October 2014

3 Nov 201431 Oct 2014 by Richard Lardner

At our last Committee meeting, we discussed some changes and clarifications to transport policies. Given that we have been hiring quite a few vehicles from Thrifty Rentals lately (because of the large numbers of trips we have run over winter), we want to make clear our policy around cancellation of trips when vehicles have been … Read more

Transport update – September 2013

16 Feb 201420 Sep 2013 by Richard Lardner

Richard Lardner, Transport Officer One of the club’s selling points is that the club owns two vans. This makes it easy for us to arrange transport and to travel together as a group on club trips. Taking one van instead of three private cars puts less pressure on drivers, is cheaper overall and better for … Read more

Transport Update – February 2013

Gareth Morton, Transport officer The club would like to remind all drivers of the club vans to be extra careful when operating the vans in any tight spots such as road-end car parks, and especially when reversing when other vehicles or objects are close by.

Would you like your very own set of keys for both the club vans, allowing you 24/7 access to the clubs sexiest assets? If you can help the Transport Officer just once a month with cleaning the vans then you will be given your own set of van keys. The job entails driving the vans … Read more
