We’ve had an amazing array of presenters for July and there were many highlights, however I think my personal favourite was from Wednesday 24 July when Sue Keall from Victoria University brought out Spike the Tuatara. The looks of excitement, sheer delight and wonder on everyone’s faces was magical to see. You couldn’t tell the adults from the kids. Our range of fantastic speakers continues into August.
We have a change of presenters for 7 August – Kate Cushing is temporarily back from Kiribati, so she has snuck in on the 7th to give a talk about her experiences there before heading back.
Other presentations coming up this month include:
- 14 August – Tony Gazley talking about tramping photography
- 21 August – A double act with Lorriane Johns and Nina Sawicki talking about their alpine adventures
- 28 August – Megan Sety takes us on a journey through Idaho in the US.
- 4 September – Grant Newton has kindly agreed to do a repeat presentation showing the images he took in 2011 when he went to New Zealand’s Sub Antarctic Islands. Grant has amazing photos that show the abundance of flora and fauna that is rarely, if ever, seen on mainland New Zealand.
I welcome any suggestions for presentations either by you or someone else so please don’t be shy, contact me on
Look forward to seeing you in the club rooms.
