She will be telling us about her Gillespie Pass trip in Mt Aspiring National Park\, Kirwan’s Track near Reefton and cruising around the Fiordland coast.\nThose who were at the July meeting will have enjoyed hearing and seeing about her excursions to Bream Head in Northland and Cedar Flat in Westland.  Dorothy was somewhat disappointed that the slide show did not go exactly as she had imagined – but I’m sure you will agree with me that she is the only one holding that opinion!  However\, she has dredged up her best “School Marm” voice from the past\, has had “Very Stern Words” with the laptop and projector\, and has been assured that they will be on their best behaviour this time!  (I’m glad I wasn’t on the receiving end of that! – Ed.)\nIf you could also come along with ideas about trips you would like the club to run we would be pleased to hear them.  (We will be having a committee meeting in the next couple of weeks\, to sort out our upcoming trip programme.)
