The OTMC hold an evening meeting most Thursdays (see below for upcoming programme). Anyone with an interest in tramping or the outdoors are more than welcome to come along and find out what the club can offer. The door is open at 7.30pm and the meeting proper starts at 8pm. A structured programme normally follows some short club announcements. The programme often features a guest speaker talking about a tramping or outdoor related topic. Occasionally we hold training nights on various tramping subject. Members and other are able to bring along photos etc. or recent trips to our regular BYO (photos) nights,

If you are interested in finding out more about the tramping club and tramping in our area then the club nights are often the best way to do so.

We are fortunate to own our own clubrooms which allows us to display a comprehensive map and photo collection on our walls.

Our clubrooms are located at 3 Young Street, St Kilda. Young Street runs off Prince Albert Road, the main road through South Dunedin leading to the beach. Our clubrooms feature a large sign and are just behind the corner diary.

July 15 - This Tuesday's ODT may have had its "Otago in grip of big freeze" front page headline, but how does this compare with winter on the Canadian/ Alaskan border? Otago's Alexandra had minus 8degC on Sunday; however, our guest speaker, Tom MacTavish, has described the temperature rising to a "mild minus 25degC" whilst he was in Dawson City, Northern Canada. Besides telling us how he survived such cold, Tom will also describe the other places he visited, the people he met, their way of life and their customs.  

  July 22 - Alex Gough is a PHD physics student at Otago University, last year he wintered over at Scott Base in Antarctica with a team of researchers. He tells us about their research, and what it is like to work in temperatures of minus 40 degrees  

July 29 - BYO - Hopefully there will be photos of Wolfgang's winter Routeburn, Richard's snow caving trip, and Gene's Kepler trip
