KEEPING IN TOUCH the CUTC holiday email chatlist It’s a familiar situation. You’ve spent the whole glorious year as an active CUTC member, participating in trips and parties while neglecting your studies (till the week before exams) but now you’re leaving Christchurch for the summer holidays. How do you keep in touch with everyone while you’re away? Simple! Use the CUTC chat list. Here you can organise trips in any part of the country and exchange tramping related information. Whatever you send to the chatlist gets sent to everyone on the list. If you haven’t already subscribed (it actually runs throughout the year) then check out www.cutc. org.nz/lists/index.html for info. Note that the chat list is different from the weekly info emails that all members get on Tuesdays. You MUST SUBSCRIBE to the chat list to participate. Once you’ve subscribed, sit back and watch the emails flood in. Here is a typical chatlist email: Yo everyone man, doesn’t holiday working suck?? i’m currently stuck here in milford as chief submarine commander but will have 2 weeks off starting dec 30th and am really keen to get outdoors to do some tramping The plan is to surface, drive to Te Anau, walk the Kepler, then head over to 16 CANTERBURY UNIVERSITY TRAMPING CLUB queenstown for the new years party on the waterfront. if anyones going to be in the area and wants to join me and is tall blonde single and can swing a sack of doorknobs then call me 021 BIGDUDE. cheers bd To which a typical reply might be: Hi there Big Dude Oh yes, I’d love to join your trip. It sounds so awesome. I come from Sweden and aren’t too sure with swinging whole doorknobs sack all by myself but reading the rest of your description I think we’d get on very nice. I also have twin sister Klara and we do everything together. She are interested in coming too if that is OK… It will be so nice to have a Kiwi man look after us both in bush. Will call you… Sven At this point we should remind you that all chat list messages are archived for permanent storage.
TROG WRITING FOR DUMMIES - Telling the story in chronological order is standard practice but is not necessary. - Think of the readers as the spectators in the Ancient Roman Colisseum. They want blood, pain, and suffering. - The most entertaining part of the trip for readers is what went spectacularly wrong. What vital piece of navigational equipment was stepped on/ left at home/ dropped off the bluff? What vital body part was stepped on/ left at home/ dropped off the bluff? - Please include lots of pictures. This is a good way of making up for being too lazy to write much. - Referring to yourself as “The Scribe” is accepted practice. - There is no upper or lower word limit. If you want to summarize your 19 day Tasman Wilderness expedition with a single haiku that’s cool. Submitting an 80,000 word novel titled “Fear and Loathing in Tuatapere” is also cool, but expect some editing. Symon and Vince, The Lords of Trog. TERM 4, 2004 17
