Friday 15th: END OF YEAR BARBEQUE
Once again the last event of the year will be a barbeque at Victoria Park. In recent years this has proved very successful, is a great opportunity to meet other members, friends and supporters, and to catch up on what has happened during the year.
Meet 5pm at Victoria Park at the main car park (below Visitor Centre). BYO drinks, sausages and bread provided. (There is no need to register for this event).
Event will run rain or shine.

Details of events for 2007 coming soon.

FORMAT
A series of visits to the Port Hills for Society members and non members, on the 4th Sunday of each month. Outings run from 1 - 4pm approximately, unless otherwise noted. Participants assemble at a designated point and either walk or drive the organized route. Reasonable mobility is required, but unless noted, they are not planned for only the super fit. Outings will be advertised in local papers and non-members are encouraged to attend. Bring your friends. The aim is to increase people's enjoyment and understanding of the Port Hills. Outings are designed as far as possible to return participants to the origin point and to be flexible in the event of bad weather.

CHARGES
There is a charge of $2 a head per outing for members and $5 for non-members, with accompanying children free. Money collected is used as a 'thank you' to the day's hosts and to pay the Society's costs (advertising, postage). Profits, if any, will be used to fund further Port Hills activities by the Society. Charges are collected at the assembly point.

REGISTRATION
Members and non-members alike should register for each outing by the Friday prior to that outing. This allows us to plan for the numbers attending and to phone registrants in the event of postponement. Register by phone or fax with Carol Haars, Administrator, Summit Road Society, 942 4857, or fax 942 4856. Remember when registering to include your contact number.

POSTPONEMENT
Postponements will be broadcast on the Newstalk ZB cancellations service (1098 AM on your radio) after 9am. We also will endeavour to phone those registrants whose have given their phone numbers. Trips postponed will be rescheduled for the following Sunday. Please re-notify your plans to attend or not after a postponement.
