Guys,
I’m a member of the Friends of 42 Traverse and yesterday, we had the first AGM, and there are some concerns about the handover from DOC to the local IWI, I think they need help, it is only 10 bucks but helps with the lobbying to keep the track open and reasonable clean.
Cheers
Interesting parallel here with what we have just been discussing. I’m sure the 42nd traverse is going to be on the Trans New Zealand Back Country Discovery Route Trail so Id be keen to chip in $10 if that’s whats needed. Their rules made interesting reading, three person committee or more but only if they want.
How many people at the AGM Joao??
Yes, there were about 8 people on the on-line AGM. it was run over “zoom” took 40 mins.
Joao
I’LL donate as well
Be aware that you can either become a member $10, or you can donate any amount is welcome.
Different, as you know.
