Come out on one of our tramps

Visitors are most welcome to come on our tramping trips. On most Sundays there is a day tramping trip departing from outside the Post Shop in Glenmall Place, Glen Eden (map, map2) at 8:30 am. Check the programme for more details.

For most day trips there is no need to book in. Just turn up to our Glen Eden meeting point 10 to 15 minutes before the departure time. If you have not been out with us before, we recommend that you phone the trip leader a few days in advance.

We usually car-pool to the tracks. Everybody (members and non-members) pays the car driver an amount depending on distance. For local trips this is typically $5–$7. There is also a $5 fee for non-members.

Come to one of our monthly evening meetings.

Visitors are most welcome to come to one of our monthly evening meetings. Monthly evening meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month * at 7.30 pm, usually with a guest speaker. Everybody puts $1 in the plate to help cover costs (tea, coffee, biscuits, and hall hire).

Monthly meetings are at the Kelston Community Centre, corner of Great North Road and Awaroa Road (map, map2).

* Except: December – second Tuesday; and January – no meeting.

How to become a member

Before you can join as a member, you need to complete three tramping trips with us (Wednesday evening walks do not qualify).

After you have completed three qualifying tramping trips, complete a membership application form and send it to the secretary. We usually send a membership application form when you complete the third tramping trip. Membership applications are considered at monthly committee meetings.

Annual dues are $30, and there is a $5 joining fee.
