Welcome to the Tararua Tramping Club.
Interested in outdoor activities, simply need some healthy exercise, and want to meet some friendly people? We may have what you're looking for.

Established in 1919, TTC is the longest established tramping club in Wellington with over 600 members. Tramping and day walks are our most popular activities, and there are many other ways you can enjoy yourself with the club, including family trips, snow sports, biking, youth programme and climbing and mountaineering. Have a look at our activities and trips for more details. ...

For information on tramping in the Tararuas, see Tararua Tramper's Guide and tramping information. For information about the native flora you might encounter, see In the hills, and our extensive trip reports.

Our event programme has all kinds of trips and activities, all year round.

Our club meetings are held every Tuesday night at our centrally-located clubrooms in Moncrieff Street. You are welcome to join us. ...

Digital FMC cards

This year, you'll get a digital FMC card emailed to you after you've paid your 2026-27 subscription unless you tell me that you want to be sent a printed FMC card.

The digital card is simply stored within the email from FMC that you'll get, or you can store it in a Google or Apple Wallet. You can download it to use when getting discounts online, such as the DoC hut pass, and you can show it if you're using it in a shop.
Moving to digital FMC cards will save the club some money, which helps with our subscription rates.

If you do not want a digital FMC card, and want to continue with a printed FMC card, then please email me back by 5 May: Cathy Wylie -> mailto:ttc [period] president [snail] ttc [period] org [period] nz?Subject=Query from TTC website on 021 0227 7796

That will really help your fellow members who handle our sub renewals.
With many thanks
Cathy Wylie - President
