SUMMARY:Kakahu Bush (Raincliff area) - Day Trip
DESCRIPTION:This will be a Temuka Tramping Club trip\, run by Robert\, one of our members.  SCTC members are most welcome to take part in this trip. \nThe reserve was set aside in 1996 as an area of significant botanical and geological interest.  It has several unique and interesting geological features and is regarded as a site of national significance.  The plant life includes one of the largest lowland podocarp remnants in Canterbury.  Many species of birds are present\, and there are bats which are active at night.  In one part of the reserve\, in the early 1900s\, there was a sanitorium for tuberculosis patients. \nThe walking will be easy\, and the round trip takes about 3 hours. \nGrade: Easy \nContact: Robert 6846845

DESCRIPTION:This ride replaces the previously-planned Ashburton River Trail ride – as most of that track is probably no longer there after the recent flooding!\nMeet at the Stadium at 9:30 am on Sunday and follow Colin on a mystery tour around Timaru.  Rumour has it that there will most likely be a coffee and/or ice-cream stop somewhere along the way!\nGrade: Easy\nContact: Colin 027 2496470

SUMMARY:June Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our June meeting will be held at our usual venue – Church Street Bible Chapel Hall\, corner Church Street and Avenue Road\, Timaru – starting at 7:30 pm.  All members and others interested in the club are welcome to attend. \nThis month we have a guest speaker: Renee\, from Timaru Booksellers. \nJohn\, our President has organised this and has supplied the following information … \nI am not a shopper/ browser of shops but one Saturday I was in town for a purpose (a purchase at Macpac).  I had parked at the top of the town and being a tramper I felt I was capable of walking down Stafford St. to a shop.  On my return journey I decided to treat myself to a coffee.  Beside the coffee shop I noticed this bookshop.   I had read about the owner and her new venture to open a shop in Timaru’s main street in a newspaper.\nI was greeted by Renee and I asked what books she had about cycling in NZ or NZ tramps.  I walked out the door with my purchase and got my coffee (good coffee shop\, by the way).  I perused my book while I enjoyed my coffee\, and then decided to go back to get a second copy to pass onto someone else.  Back at Timaru Booksellers I struck up a conversation with Renee\, and discovered that not only does she know about books but she also enjoys an adventure.  So come along to this month’s meeting and find out what Renee’s adventure was.

SUMMARY:Mid-winter Club Weekend - Dunstan Downs (Lindis Pass area)
DESCRIPTION:Details of the club’s mid-winter get-together are now available. \nMany thanks to John\, our President\, for organising this event and supplying the following information … \nI have booked out the Dunstan Downs Backpackers accommodation for Saturday night 19th June 2021.  There are 17 beds available for us\, with linen and towels provided. \nDunstan Downs: You know\, that place when you are driving to Central Otago via the Lindis Pass\, out of Omarama towards the Ahuriri turn-off\, those shearers quarters buildings on the left?  Well\, that’s us for the night. \nThere are 4 or 5 cottages (with heaters)\, a common room and kitchen\, and an ablution block with a couple of showers.  The common room could be cramped\, but sociable.  We will be sharing the facilities with the grader driver who looks after the Lindis Pass road over winter – every winter this becomes his home away from home. \nWe will leave Timaru about 7:30 or 8 on the Saturday and drive a couple of hours or so to Dunstan Downs.  Once the fighting over the rooms has finished and we have settled in we will head to the hills – weather permitting. \nThe cost for accommodation and the evening meal will be $50.  Travel costs will be extra\, and will depend on the numbers attending. \nYou will need to bring your own liquid refreshments and nibbles of choice for the evening\, plus your lunches for both days and your breakfast for the Sunday. \nOn the Sunday we will head either to the hills again or to one of the remote historic cottages on the property – again\, all weather dependent. (Catherine and Barry are looking after that side of things.) \nIf you are interested please let me know as soon as possible\, so food etc. can be organised. \nGrade: Easy\nContact: John 6888536 (evenings) / 027 6734644 (phone or text)
