🌧️ Work Party Reminder – This Weekend! πŸ› οΈπŸ‘

Just a friendly reminder that our work party is on this weekend. There are plenty of jobs to tackle, and many hands make light work!

Please remember to bring:
βœ… Wet weather gear
βœ… Sturdy footwear
βœ… Work gloves (if you have them)
βœ… A positive attitude and sense of humour

The weather might be a bit unpredictable, but there’s still plenty we can get done. Every bit of help makes a huge difference and helps keep our club facilities in great shape for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks in advance to everyone giving up their time to lend a hand. We look forward to seeing you there!

🌟 Happy Volunteer Week - LWTC Committee 🌟

This Volunteer Week, we’d like to give a huge shout-out to our incredible committee who generously donate their time, energy, expertise, and occasionally their sanity, to keep our club running for everyone to enjoy.

πŸ‘ President – Judy (chief problem solver and professional cat herder)
πŸ‘ Vice President – Andy T (keeping the committee flowing smoothly and always ready when a plumbing issue springs up!)
πŸ‘ Secretary – Dale (keeper of the minutes, master of the paperwork, and the reason we know what was actually decided at meetings!)
πŸ‘ Treasurer – Katie (keeper of the pennies and protector of the bank account)
πŸ‘ Booking Officer – Andy S (master of beds, bookings, and answering the same questions 47 times)
πŸ‘ Works Officer – Joe (if it’s broken, Joe knows about it… and probably fixed it)
πŸ‘ Food Officer – Rebekah (making sure no one goes hungry after a big day on the mountain)
πŸ‘ Membership Officer – Kath (the friendly face welcoming members old and new)
πŸ‘ Social Media Officers – Jo & Kent (making us look far more organised online than we sometimes are in real life!)

A special thank you also goes to the many other volunteers who help behind the scenes throughout the year. Whether you’re cleaning, maintaining, organising, carrying supplies, helping at working bees, serving on sub-committees, or simply putting your hand up when needed, you are an essential part of what makes our club so special.

Our club doesn't run on snow, hiking tracks or electricity, or just good intentions alone they run on volunteers. Your hard work allows members to create lifelong memories, enjoy the mountains, outdoors and feel part of an amazing community.

From all our members, thank you for everything you do. We appreciate you more than words (or even fresh powder) can say! β„οΈβ›·οΈπŸ”οΈβ€οΈ

Huge shout out to everyone who has helped out over the last couple of work parties at the lodge! πŸ‘πŸ”οΈ

From painting walls, electrical work, cleaning, general repairs and all the little jobs in between, the lodge is looking fantastic thanks to the amazing team effort and all the mahi put in by our super members.

A massive thank you to those who gave up time out of their busy schedules to lend a hand, and to our regular helpers who are always there rolling up their sleeves… you are absolute legends!

A special mention also to the 3 brothers who helped us out with the electrical work, you guys are super legends! βš‘πŸ‘ We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better group of lads. Your help, hard work and good banter were hugely appreciated by everyone, thank you Ryan, Kyle, Blair πŸ€™

Of course, it wasn’t all hard work πŸ˜„ there was plenty of fun, laughs, good chats and a few well-earned beverages shared along the way too 🍻

Many hands really do make light work, and it’s pretty special seeing everyone come together to keep the lodge in such great shape for all to enjoy.

Thanks again team, you’re all awesome, πŸ™Œ
