,JOHTXBZ!,JOH&EXBSE 7BODPVWFS #$ PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Kaja Sadowski '".064 that really strikes me as I look back on the four Oyears I have spent in the VOC is how much the core of the '00%4 club has shifted since I arrived here in 2004. Back then, I felt as if I were being inducted into a secret society with its own ob- scure rules and traditions that it was a great privilege even to see, let alone participate in. ,ough our membership was quite large, there only seemed to be about fifty people who were actively involved in the club’s regular activities, and maybe another fifty who had gone on any trip other than Longhike. In my subse- quent years on the exec, we’d occasionally joke about how the club functioned by sucking in hundreds of first years at Clubs Days and then using their membership fees to fund the activi- ties of the “active members”—all hundred or so of us—long after they’d forgotten what the VOC was in the first place. It was a sad truth that our membership numbers did not reflect our members’ engagement level. Considering our budget restraints and the logistical difficulty of planning thirty-plus–person trips every weekend, it was even useful. ,en, suddenly, something changed. It may have been because of the increasing accessibility of the club through our message board, VOCene, and wiki (which has absolutely exploded this year in the hands of our mad historian, Christian Champagne); it may have been because of Sandra Nicol’s campaign for X 1 X 2 X VARSITY OUTDOOR CLUB JOURNAL 2007–08 beginner-friendly trips last year; it may even have been just a lucky influx of new members that were so eager to get involved that they pushed past any barriers within the club and took over. Whatever the reason, the level of involvement in the club this past year has been a wonderful surprise. ,e exec has been scrambling like mad to keep up with the demand for trips and courses and then tearing out our hair trying to figure out just where we can take a group of fifty people and effectively intro- duce them to backcountry skiing. Every trip advertised on the wiki has needed a waiting list, every VOC hut has been packed to the gills multiple times, and I’ve seen new faces every out- ing into the backcountry. What’s more, an enormous chunk of our new members have been organizing their own trips, which range from a “let’s practise what we learned at Glacier School” excursion to climbing nights at the ever-shifting Cliffhanger to weekend romps up to Squamish or across the Neve. As far as I can tell, the “inactive” portion of the club is next to non-exis- tent as new members just keep popping out of the woodwork and offering to teach avi courses or follow Jeff Mottershead up Europa in the middle of the night.

  • Th« Varsity Outdoor Ckh Journal
    Th« Varsity Outdoor Ckh Journal VOLUME XIV 1971 The VmvetAihj of 3titttA Cdumka Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE During the past year, I have sometimes "been asked "Just what is the Varsity Outdoor Club?" Believe me, it was not an easy question to answer; Waffling, I would reply, "The V.O.C. is special­ ized groups such as rock climbers, ski-tourers, snowshoers, canoeists, downhill-skiers, and moun­ taineers, each with its own Ideals and codes. It is the broad, nebulous group of hikers and skiers who like to do a "bit of everything11. Above all, it is people who like to have fun, whether in a Crestline during a blizzard, huddled around the fireplace at Whistler, or Salty-Dogging it at a party. This is the common tie that binds us to­ gether as V.O.C.ers." This year, the Club has been engaged in num­ erous controversies. The relative merits of hut- building, trailbuilding and increasing membership were questioned. The liquor rule was debated ad infinitum and generated much feeling. The cul­ mination of the debate in a vote twice in one year shows how key the alcohol question really is. The cabin, as always, was also a major source of controversy. The coherent, logical, and well- informed discussion of these problems is the sure sign of a healthy club. These issues are Impor­ tant and it is fundamental that they be discussed as much and by as wide a cross-section of members as possible. It is only in this way that the changes that do occur will be in the best interest of the V.O.C.
