Welcome to 2022

Hi all and welcome to 2022.

We are looking forward to starting back up for the year! Our first meeting back will be next Thursday (10th Feb) at the Tararua Tramping Club.

In terms of planning, we have some ideas and will be communicating those out to everyone once things are more finalised. Keep an eye out on this page as we will have some questions we would like everyone’s feedback on soon 🙂

The traffic light system has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works and we are going to make sure that we do everything we can to keep all of our members safe and cater to their level of comfort in socialising and spending time close to others.

We’ll keep everyone updated on the programme as that becomes available.
