Tuesday club night weekly activity summaries

Brief and entertaining weekly activity summary reports to be read out at Club Night, should be emailed to the Weekly Activity Reporters -> mailto:ttc [period] weekly [period] activities [snail] ttc [period] org [period] nz?Subject=Query from TTC website. Photos, a map, or a gps track, are a welcome addition, but the report should include:

  • the route taken
  • the number of club members and non-members tramping
  • the weather and track conditions
  • some salient details worthy of note.

Weekly activity summaries are a record of participation in the club's weekly programme. They are collated by the Weekly Activity Reporters and read out at each Club Night, and are used for compiling statistical trip information.
