Tararua Tramping Club - Club Nights

Tuesday is our regular club night. Meetings are held in our clubrooms in Moncrieff Street, off Elizabeth Street, off Kent Terrace.

We welcome new faces at our meetings, and there are always club members available to provide newcomers with information and any answer questions they may have.

Forthcoming Meetings

16 March	North to Alaska Dianne & Warwick Hill and Liz Martin and Alan Graham explored the scenic Inside Passage by ferry - a rather different experience from going on a cruise.

23 March	A traverse of the Richmond Range over the tops to Nelson Chris Munn will describe how 5 club members enjoyed great weather during a seven day trip in late November. They also engaged in unplanned activities such as Pinus eradication and track closure work on behalf of DoC.

30 March	Darwin's Inspirational Voyage Tonight we have a very special presentation from Dr Hamish Campbell, of GNS Science and geologist at Te Papa. HMS Beagle set sail from Plymouth, England, on 27 December 1831 on a three-year voyage (!) returning to Falmouth on 2 October 1836. Captain Robert Fitzroy (25) had two missions: 1) to continue charting the coast of South America and 2) to gain more precise fixings of longitude around the world. Charles Darwin (22) was the ‘naturalist’. This illustrated talk will explore aspects of this historic voyage with particular emphasis on Darwin and the geological sources of his inspirational thinking.
