This year’s club trip is booked for us to head to the Central Plateau for the weekend of 19-21 September, staying Friday and Saturday night at the Forest & Bird Lodge at Whakapapa Village at the base of Mount Ruapehu.

The Lodge is a very well appointed facility with plenty of space with a fully equipped kitchen for us to self cater, modern and warm with plenty of bedrooms and bunkrooms, open plan dining and lounge area, and a large wrap around deck for that all important indoor outdoor flow! Pricing is very reasonable ($80 - $130 depending on numbers). There are plenty of things to do in the area for all photographic interests.

Bookings are essential. Keep an eye on the club newsletter and facebook page for more information.
