Trip Calendar

This year we are attempting to have each member lead a trip, this can be anything from a BBQ at the local park to a full blown holiday adventure. Information on lots of potential places has been put up on the site, and a few members have indicated preferences already. We really need to get timing organised quickly to make sure the year doesnt get away, so please have a look through, or suggest something if its not in the list. There is always going to be someone interested in going, and leading a trip is nothing to be worried about. There are lots of trip suggestions on the Members Page

Even if you don't wish to lead a trip but have an idea on a trip, let us know and we'll see what we can do to organise it for you. There have been alot of idea's put forward for trips away, but we need to have some day trips in our local area organised as well.
Can all those who wish to have a trip listed, please fill out the Trip Details Form and send to me.

Trip Leaders:
A Trip Details Form needs to be filled out for each trip. Please fill it out and forward it to me for posting.

Prior to leaving on a trip the trip leader will also need to print out (or collect from a committee member) both a Trip Sign-On sheet which must be filled out before the trip leaves (or at earliest convenience) and an Incident Report Form (just in case)
