Murmurings from the Kitchen – August 2009

social-convenor-2009Kia Ora all  

Well it’s hard to believe we are putting the spring schedule together. I’m not sure where the year has gone. We have had some great presentations on club nights that have been informative and entertaining. Thank you to those willing to give up their time and brave enough to stand up and talk. We are always looking for more people so if you have been on a fantastic trip lately, whether you actually made the destination or not, come and let us know.

We have more great presentation coming up. Here are a few:

26 August: WTMC Quiz Night. We have put together some questions for you to test your knowledge of WTMC and tramping so skill yourself up, organize yourself into teams of 6-8 people and come join the fun.

2 September: Craig Bellhouse is Taking us for a tour around Stewart Island, the presentation we missed in July.

9 September: Darren Hammond the club president is telling us about his trip to Morocco With more to follow.

As you all may be aware we have an annual photo competition. This year is no different  except we have new judge. We will tell you more about him later in the year but for now get your camera out and get snapping. Try to take the picture using a high resolution setting (ie 5+ Mega Pixels).

The categories are as follows

  • Flora and Fauna
  • Landscape
  • Dramatic
  • Water
  • Tramping with WTMC

There will be a maximum of 2 photos per category per person. The photos must be in to either Donna or Sally by Wednesday November 4 2009 and the winners will be announced on Wednesday November 25. Late entries will not be accepted so get on to it early.

We have some exciting and fun things planned for the future so keep your eyes, ears and minds open for more details.

Thanks and see you all at club if not out in the hills.

Donna and Sally.
