3 Presidents Report HI All, Welcome to the new year. The club has again started well with some strongly attended trip and another exciting club get together, we do however need members who can leaders to come forward and continue to lead trips, I m sure Stuart would love to fill the trip list well into the last half of the year, if all members could please consider their schedules for the year and let Stuart know if you can help out. As we look forward to this year, there will hopefully be some good publicity and team building projects in the pipeline, with a guest speaker from DEC currently on the Agenda at the next Club meeting, again I ask that all put on their thinking caps and offer any solutions/ comments to some of the track issues posed by DEC within this area in their important role of protecting our parks and reserves (this list we hopefully be circulated closer to the visit), as we have a great opportunity to help the local community and protect our environment. So with all that s to come I wish all the best and look forward to seeing you soon Greg Collins
