You may not know me if you are a new member this year, but I’m your president. When I was elected for this position last year I thought I was going to have a light academic load. As it turned out I ended up taking an intensive program in education and I have spent most of my year on the north shore. No, not skiing, but teaching rebellious high school students art. Fortunately with the aid of my better half, Andy Pacheco, dedicated executive members, and some very keen general members, the club has held together without my visible presence. I believe one of the most notable advances the club had made this year is with its move towards greater organisation through the transfer of much of the club’s paperwork to the personal computer. John Omielan spent many hours developing a custom-made program for the club’s Hustler’s Handbook in which now is contained each member’s interests and abilities in the outdoors - a must when desperately searching for a partner to go on trips. The journal is now done with a PC by club members, which saves both time and money. Also of particular note are the instructional booklets which have been devel9ped for the club’s two most popular courses, rock school and glacier school, by myself and Craig Hollinger respectively. Craig has also gone a long way towards preparing a structured telemark school.

This year was a good one for the V.O.C. We have seen our membership grow to a recent high of over 250. For many, the club has opened up a whole new world of adventure and challenge. For others, the club has continued to be a central part of their lives adding new memories and aspirations. The success of our club has always been in the strength of our active members. This year, again, active members gave their time unselfishly to such things as leading trips, cabin committee meetings and social functions, not to mention many others. It is these people I would like to thank most for making my job, as President, that much more enjoyable. For those of you who have participated in club activities for the first time, I urge you to take an active part in helping to run the club. I am sure you will find that the rewards far exceed the time and effort involved. As a club whose major interests lie in the outdoors, I feel we as a membership have helped people become more aware of what is beyond the campus of U.B.C. British Columbia offers a wealth of wilderness which is accessible to everyone. It is important that as a club we continue to pass on our knowledge about outdoor activities and wilderness areas.
