Meetings
Our
meetings are held at the Scout Centre, corner of Arthur St and St
Georges Square, East Launceston. At every meeting there are reviews of
recent, and previews of forthcoming club walks and other activities.
Every second meeting is a "Photo Night" with less club business matters and more of what we are really about....enjoying the wilderness. The club has many keen photographers and others who have been walking for many years, so the slides seen vary greatly and are sure to be interesting. Guest speakers are occasionally invited to club meetings. Recent guests have shown us snakes, frogs, taken us on photographic journeys through stunning caves, and shown us the latest in bushwalking and ski gear. We always have supper after the meeting. This is a good time to catch up with friends, plan trips, swap photos and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and cakes.
It is suggested that prospective new members come along to one of our Wednesday night meetings before their first walk.
People wishing to become new members must complete a suitable day trip with the club as a visitor before they can apply for membership. For most people a "suitable trip" means an easy too moderate day walk, or alternatively a cycling trip. The Memberships Officer can point you in the right direction for a suitable trip, introduce you to the coordinators and advise you what equipment you will need. If you can't make it to a meeting, please contact us via email or phone our message bank on (03) 9513 8282.
After completing a suitable trip as a visitor, the trip coordinator and another club member will sign the application form which can then be sent to the club for processing of the new membership.
