Walks Program Change
There has been a slight change to the On-Track Winter walks program, with two walks being swapped. Barbara Liddle's Booderee Explorer walk on June 10th will now happen on July 1st, swapping with Alison Smith's Booderee Whale Watching Circuit walk which moves from July 1st to June 10th.
The Karen Davis whale watching walk on the weekend of June 27/28 has been cancelled due to leader unavailability.
Ettremist now private !
Our newsletter / walks program has been moved to our Members Only area due to some potential members turning up for walks with inadequate gear and no idea of their responsibilities, while others with no intention of joining the club used our walks as free, guided tours. This was a burden our leaders did not need.
Annual Subscription Increase
Due to the rising cost of insurance, our annual membership subscriptions have been increased to $25 per year. Membership for those paying insurance through their membership of other clubs remains at $10 per year.
Car Sharing Cost - until end of August 09
10c per kilometre per passenger, rounded up/down to the nearest 10km and then the nearest dollar.
