AGM and May Club Meeting

Annual General Meeting 2024
Jenny chaired our A G M.  Usual format was followed and minutes recorded. Jenny delivered 
her Presidents Report and Neville the Financial Report. Both the club and finances are going
well but member numbers are declining. The committee remains the same as there were no new 
nominations for positions.
Notice was given of a special meeting in July to ratify the changes to
our constitution required by the Incorporated Societies Act. A set of Club
rules were also introduced.
A.G.M closed and we moved on to our general meeting.
Club Meeting
Trip Reports
Herbert Forest Open Day: This was well attended by the public. Unfortunately
2 people had to be helicoptered out to hospital. Both were happy with the
care received at the time. Communication lines were good, and people enjoyed
the day.
Snowy River Gorge: It turned out that the Ahuriri was too high to cross so an
alternative into the Dingle Valley to Top Hut was undertaken. Day one was
very cold with snow on the ground. Great views from the ridge. Next day was
lovely and the walk out pleasant.
Staircase Ridge: Seven people enjoyed this walk in the Waianakarua area. Fortunately, 
the track was quite dry which made the steep easier going. A good work out.
Wednesday walkers gave their Report.
Up and Coming Trips
Silverpeaks:  Will only go ahead if enough interest is shown.
Ben Lomond: Climb Ben Lomond and explore the area.
Mt Cook:  Matariki Weekend Day walks from base hut.
Trip planning then followed.
Meeting closed 8.50pm with a cup of tea.
