I want to thank personally all the Trip Leaders who have dedicated their valuable time to create, plan and run their trips. Again, we are seeing some exception new members taking the leap to become Trip Leaders. We are seeing a variety of trips with Trip Leaders and participants passing on their knowledge of flora, fauna, geology, history, 4WDing, travelling and much more. I encourage Members to create trips or activities so that more of us can have some awesome adventures. For those who are nervous, please talk to the experience trip leaders and members as there is an amazing wealth of knowledge to draw on. See you on a track out there!! Tracy Morcom #1255 Trips & Social Co-ordinator TECHNICAL REPORT The past 12 months has been a rewarding experience in the technical area. A lot of information was digested, selected and amalgamated to provide members information on a diverse and varied range of topics. It takes time, but an excellent learning curve to some leading concepts and technology. A total of 11 articles were published in the Tech Talk section of the magazine. Thank you to club members for reading Tech Talk and making suggestions on topics. A special thank you to the editors – Toni and Colin for doing the magazine jigsaw on schedule. Cha Ratnatunga Technical Officer EDITORS REPORT After taking over the editor role from Frank Amato in November of last year, Colin and I have been on a steep learning curve. We really appreciate every-ones tolerance as we navigate our way around how to put together a magazine. Of course, none of what we do could happen without members contributing to the magazine each month. Also there is an army behind what we do: members who regularly contribute by picking up the magazine from the printer each month, mailing those magazines out to members who aren’t at the meetings. A big THANK-YOU to them. We are interested in keeping the magazine a publication that has something of interest to all, so if you have any suggestions or would like to send us an article of interest please email us at [email protected].
