Hey all,  We'll be running a gear audit & social BBQ on the 7th of Janurary. Starting at 2:00PM we’ll join up and start making our way through the gearshed with a big focus on ropes and harnesses checking their status and evidence of wear and tear. It should take us 3-4 hours and we’ll have a BBQ at the end (happy to accomidate for dietry requirments).  BBQ will be pretty lowkey, just chairs setup in the gearshed, an esky for your cold drinks if you wish to bring any and some dinner cooked up on the BBQ :). Audits are a great way to get a better understanding of the how the club works, catch up with mates or meet some new people and maybe even plan some trips for the upcoming year. Audits are also a great way to give back to the club and recognise the work that is done to keep the NUMC running. Anyone is welcome! jobs can be as simple as counting carabiners, so no prior knowledge is required.  If you can come to the audit: buy a free audit ticket (Your welcome to join the BBQ for free after)  If you wish to just come to the BBQ buy a 5$ social BBQ ticket  If you have any questions feel free to contact a committee member or myself (Matthew Moss).  When: 7th Janurary 2:00PM for audit. 6:00PM for BBQ  Where: NUMC gearshed (Located at the forum)  Thanks,  Matthew Moss, Hope to see you there!!
