President's Message 22 March 2023

Kia ora
 
Last meeting was a pot luck tea at the Bearmans on Thur 16th in their new to them house. It was a small gathering in a lovely old tastefully remodelled/ decorated character house and we were all well feed and watered.
 
This Monday’s meeting we will host the South Otago Mountain Bike Club. Chris Till will give us a run down on their new track. 
 
We will also have reports on latest and remaining  trips for the tramping club. 
 
See you all Monday, at the usual venue.
