  • Otago Tramping Club - Miss L
    Otago Tramping Club - Miss L. Tweedy Diaries - 1923 OTAGO TRAMPING CLUB Tramping Diaries of Miss. L. Tweedy OTC Foundation Member Vol. 1 1923 Celebrating 100 Years of Tramping & Mountaineering 1923Page-2023 1 Otago Tramping Club - Miss L. Tweedy Diaries - 1923 Miss L. Tweedy Tramping Diary, 1923-1929 One of the most significant early items in the OTMC archive housed at the Hocken Library is a set of diaries from Miss L. Tweedy. There is not a lot of information avail- able about the club’s early trips - aside from this collection the only other remaining record of the OTC’s tramping trips in the 1920’s is a series of trip reports published in the Otago Daily Times. The first club magazine (Outdoors) was published in 1934. Miss Tweedy’s diaries were donated to the OTMC in 1983 and have since been added to our archive at the Hocken. At first the diaries appear to be pretty basic, but a deeper analysis shows that they provide a comprehensive overview of what it was like to be an Otago Tramping Club members in the 1920’s. The first entry is from the second club day trip from the Gardens to Burkes via Signal Hill. The first four months of the OTC saw the club travel as far as Maungatua and the Double Hill area of the Silver Peaks. There is an entry for the first club Christmas Trip to the Cecil Peak area departing on December 1926, but this can’t have left Dun- edin until the first week of 1924 as both inaugural President Oscar Balk and Miss Tweedy are listed as being on day trips from December 22 to December 30.

  • Introducing the Dunedin Quarters
    Introducing the Dunedin Quarters Background TSCF’s ministry is part of a worldwide partnership across 150 nations. Our vision is to see students reach their fellow students with the good news of Jesus Christ, becoming leaders amongst their peers and going on to engage in the culture and society that God calls them to. TSCF has been involved in student ministry on the campuses of New Zealand for the last 78 years – we are committed to the gospel reaching the heart of New Zealand university students and impacting the heart of Kiwi society. For several years TSCF has overseen intentional student communty houses in Dunedin and in Wellington. In 2018 we have taken on four properties in Dunedin with space for nineteen students. Two staff families will be living on site and will be part of daily life in the houses. The name we have given the initiative is the Quarters. The vision for the Quarters can be summed up as follows: Lifetime friends, under God, sharing Life. Living in the houses will be much like flatting anywhere in New Zealand. The key distinctive is that residents commit to a number of shared practices that are aimed at helping them grow as a community and grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. For more details see the ethos document for the Quarters that is part of this information pack. The setting The quarters are four neighbouring properties on Bank Street. The street is on the edge of the boundary between North Dunedin and the North East Valley. It is a 2-minute walk to the local supermarket and shops, and the Dunedin Botanic Gardens.
