TRIP GRADE: Easy

Club work parties date back to 1927, when the OTC held a working bee on the Ferguson’s Creek Track. Since then, over 220 ‘official’ work days have been held, along with many informal days spent by members working on various tracks and huts.

The variety of club work parties is quite varied, ranging from Flagstaff and the Silver Peaks right through to Treble Cone, Routeburn, Fiordland and Esquilant Bivvy.

For a time, it was a requirement to complete a work party before you could join the club – this stopped when the lack of work parties meant people couldn’t apply for membership.

Most recent club-related work parties have been to Ben Rudd’s but have also included the Skyline Track and the repainting of the clubrooms.

This work party is to carry and install the signs for Pineapple Point. It is being run as one of our 100 Trips for 100 Years to make up for the Snowcaving / Camping weekend that was cancelled last month.
