Thursday Night Meetings
The OTMC hold an evening meeting most Thursday evenings (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 from 7.00pm and the meeting proper starts at 7.30pm. 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 subjects.
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. You can sign up for weekend trips, or talk to leaders for the upcoming day and weekend trips.
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 clubroom is identified by a large sign and is just behind the corner dairy.

| September 3 | Ask Anything Night |
| One of the benefits of being part of a club is the combined expertise and experience of the members. Tonight is a chance to interrogate your fellow club members - best multi-day trip they've done? Best least-well known route - show me on the map on the wall! New to tramping and want to know what tents are the favourite amongst members, and the pros and cons of different styles of tents, or boots, or poles, or .... Ask anything! Don't have a question - well, you probably have some answers and expertise to share. | |
