Please note — address all correspondence pertaining to Club business to the Secretary Over Forties Tramping Club, P O Box 6505, Upper Riccarton, Christchurch 8442 Established 1978 Affiliated to the Federated Mountain Clubs of NZ www.oftc.org.nz OFTC 2 Committee Reports Chairman’s Report During the month of June, we have had some very large groups out tramping - on two Wednesdays in particular (36 and 47 respectively). With the ideal winter conditions we have experienced for tramping, this is good to see, but it does call for extra care with our individual responsibilities toward the leader and co-leader. Large numbers such as these do take extra effort in maintaining the safety and enjoyment of the group. On Thursday 21 May, 10 club members led by Gavin Hampton planted 200 native trees and shrubs within our designated area on the Port Hills. Conditions were not ideal for the planters, but really good for the plants – yes, they were well watered!! While I was not part of the group, I understand the plants which were planted last year are growing well and looking good. By the time this newsletter is distributed, our ‘Mid Winter Nosh’ on Wednesday 24 June, will have been and gone. This is an event which has developed over the past few years and the committee is conscious of the fact that there has not been an event of this type for the members who mainly tramp on Saturdays and Sundays. There is potential to strengthen the social aspect of our club and some ideas are being investigated for the near future which we hope will have wide appeal. In the June issue of “Going Places’, it was good to see a recipe included for home made muesli bars. The food aspect of our tramping is one where I’m sure members will have many well proven favourites which they could share – home prepared dehydrated foods, high energy cakes, biscuits, etc. I encourage you to send these to our editor and maybe a ‘Cooks Corner’ will develop. Jack Watt, our Base camp and Back packing Co-ordinator, is compiling a schedule for the upcoming season. Already he has several proposed tramps and base camps on the list, but more would be welcome. Please give this some thought and contact Jack with any ideas you have. Regards to you all, — Warwick Scadden Club Captain’s Report Rescue By now most of you will have heard that our Jon Roberts had to be helicopted off the Mt Somers walkway on Sat 20 th after badly damaging tendons in his knee and not being able to walk. The party activated the locator beacon once it was clear that Jon needed to be air lifted out. The value of our locator beacons has once again been proven beyond doubt. Reminders Check your 1st aid kits • Make sure you carry an extra fleece or jersey these cold days • Put an extra energy bar in your lunch tin – just in case! • Look after each other – keep together as much as possible Have fun.

While the plaque was expensive, the quality of workmanship was excellent and the service helpful and prompt. When I said that the site was not in Christchurch, they advised on packaging and installation and provided information to be sent to the appropriate local authority.
