Tararua Lodge trip leaders run the school holiday, alpine training, and club events for the lodge committee and the regular weekend and week trips, not to mention summer trips and activities.
If you were interested in leading either a week (Monday night to Thursday night, vacate Friday) or weekend (Friday night to Saturday night, vacate Sunday) at the lodge, then please contact the ski committee.
Being a trip leader involves,
- being a contact point prior to the trip for others interested in stay at the lodge for that week or weekend that you'd be leading
- co-coordinating any transport (car pooling)
- drawing up a menu & a shopping list of fresh food that you'd ask them to bring with them - mostly veg, fruit, meat & bread.
There are supplies of 'dry - bulk' items like porridge, jams, tinned foodstuffs already at the lodge following club work party visits earlier this season.
- drawing up & assigning a roster of cooking or house keeping duties
- Collecting lodge/food fees, recording this, getting those details to myself & the money to the club treasurer.
The ski committee will provide you with the appropriate forms & also lists for bulk food, and an example of some basic menu's & food quantities required.
- ensuring the building is left clean & tidy when you leave
- possibly undertaking a 'starting up & shutting down' the lodge power, water, electricity & fire alarm systems, if the was no one there either preceding or following on from you. This takes about 15 to 20 minutes following a help guide detailing what you need to do.
Many thanks
the ski committee
