www.ashburtoncourier.co.nz CLUB NEWS Ashburton Courier, April 21, 2022 31 Ashburton Strollers Club Our first February stroll for the year was in the Ashburton Lakes district where we joined the Te Araroa Trail at the top of Lake Clearwater to walk to the Potts Gorge and return. Later in February, our Sunday trip saw us travelling to Lake Heron Station, where we were afforded grand views of the Arrowsmith Range. Abeautiful day meant that we didn’t mind the numerous river crossings as we tramped up the Smite River. Sunday 6th March saw us venture up the Rakaia Gorge, to the Dry Acheron Station. Although the norwester was blowing rather strongly, it wasn’t enough to put us off enjoying our day out tramping in the tussocky hills. Adverse weather conditions forced the cancellation of our Wednesday walk in the foothills. April 3rd saw 18 members enjoying a sunny day in the Whitecliffs area, where an uphilltramp was rewarded with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The Wednesday walkers travelled to Lake Tekapo, where they completed the Lagoon Loop. Two extra strolls have been into Woolshed Creek and up the Stour River. Members are most appreciate of the wonderful work being done to improve the tracks, by the hard working volunteers of the Mt Somers Walkways Committee. There is aclub night and annual general meeting on Tuesday 2nd August when David Howden will show his video called ‘Mustering with Sharkie’. Strolls are held on the first Sunday and second Wednesday of the month, usually departing from the Ashburton Courthouse at 8.30am. New walkers are always welcome to join in. For further information about the club and activities, please phone Jenny on 027 308 6864, or ashburtonstrollers.ash@gmail.com Mid Canterbury LadiesFriendship Club President Julie opened the April meeting held recently. After the National Anthem was sung birthdays and anniversaries were celebrated. The Mid Canterbury Area Representative had sent an update. Donations for the foodbanks were collected. Members were asked toshare values or skills their parents taught them. These were many and varied and included wearing gloves when putting on stockings, being kind, turning pillow cases inside out when washing to get the fluff out, don’t believe everything you hear, keep the bench tidy but most of all wear clean knickers as you might be hit by abus! The raffle of Easter Eggs was drawn. After morning tea the speaker was Sue Allen. She told us of coming to Ashburton in 2001 and joining Creative Fibres.
