After fourteen years on the Board of Directors and two as President, I’ve decided to move on. I’ve done most of what I wanted to do in the society and it’s time to pass the torch. Tree others have also decided to leave the board as of this spring’s AGM; we’re losing a lot of experience, but this is a time of renewal Between storms on Parker Ridge, Banff National Park. and we have new board members coming in who I’m confident Photo by Daphne Nagorsen will bring new ideas and enthusiasm. Tere have been many challenges and frustrations in my years, but I have nothing but respect and appreciation for the people I will continue to be involved in the transition, but I’ve been I’ve worked with. My experience with the society has been passing on most of my commitments. In early May we host the overwhelmingly positive; I’ve made a number of good friends over Annual General Meeting and Conference of BC Nature; I’ll give the years and had a lot of good times in and out of doors, and I’m an address on the opening evening, will lead a hike on the last day very thankful for the opportunity to learn about nature and to of the conference, and will help out anywhere else as needed. I’m share a lot of knowledge with others. also helping out with planning the summer camp at McGillivray Pass though I won’t be going there myself. I’ll still be active and I look forward to continued learning and enjoyment of nature involved but more than anything my involvement will be hiking with the society.

  • 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.
