One can be sure that in October 1919, our club’s founders would not have envisaged that their little tramping club would not only have grown to the size it is today but would be entering its second century.
Now, in 2024, TTC has over 700 members, an incredible 10% of whom are either life members or have been in the club for 50 years or more.
The first of these life members was Otaki MP Willie Field, in 1922, and since then 48 men and women have had their names added to the rimu board that hangs on the clubroom wall.
As well as these 49 life members, TTC also has a remarkable number of 59 members who have been with the club for 50 years or more.
On Life/50-year Members' Night we celebrate and applaud the life and 50-year members who are such an important part of our heritage, and present our newest 50-year members.
