President’s Column – September 2024
Recently there was a change in the legislation for Incorporated Societies requiring new Constitutions or “Rules” to be written. The Companies Office provides a Constitution builder to make it easier for societies to create their new rules. We have begun the work to update our constitution and will have it prepared and circulated prior to the next AGM. Along with this we intend to update our Honours rules. Once these are ready we will share them with you.
I am looking forward to our exhibition moving to Hanmer Springs in October and the field trip that will run alongside the opening. We have also begun to plan for the next exhibition which is likely to have a focus on the area between Porters Pass and Arthurs Pass.
Last month, I managed to get away and attempt the St James walkway. Unfortunately the snow was a bit deep and we decided it best not to do the full trip and turned back. Still it was great to get out and take a few photos along the way. A couple of images included below.
I would also like to extend a warm welcome to Jenny Mitchell.
