Tricia French's trip Putara, Ruapae, Dundas Hut, Roaring Stag (13-14 Feb) was cancelled due to Wx (high winds forecast on tops).
Weekend:
Daniel Rogerson led a work party to Tararua Lodge. There were 6 members. They cleaned out the grease traps, washed linen and cushion covers, baited and trapped mice, did painting. Sheree will lead another work party next month.
Liz Martin led an EM trip to Kime. 5 members, 1 non-member went up to Field Hut on Friday, arriving c. 11 pm. When they arrived they found the hut full of young people cooking sausages, not anywhere near going to bed. "It's good to see that Field on a Friday night is still very much part of the tramping culture in the Tararuas!" On Saturday they visited the new hut construction site at Kim, and half the party climbed Mt Hector.

Hayden Richards' Northern Crossing did not run - no takers so he joined the work party.
