Welcome to the Hagley Tramping Club, Christchurch, New Zealand
The Hagley Tramping Club was established with the aim of making the back country experience more accessible to the average person and to foster a respect for the wilderness.
We are a small friendly club which welcomes new members. As the typical numbers on our tramps are 4 - 8 people we especially suit those who enjoy tramping in smaller groups.
We organise a variety of trips to suit all ages and levels of fitness.
We are supportive of those new to tramping and will also encourage more experienced trampers who wish to try a more challenging trip.
The Hagley Tramping Club is affiliated to the Federated Mountain clubs of NZ Inc.

History
The Hagley Tramping Club was formed in 1974 by staff at Christchurch Hospital and until recently was known as the Hospital Tramping club. The club was not restricted to the Hospital Staff, but open to all members of the public. Over the decades the membership gradually drifted away from Hospital staff until, by 2006, the link was lost and we no longer had any club members who worked at the Hospital.
In 2007 the club's name was changed to the Hagley Tramping Club to better reflect the club's current membership and promote it as being open to everybody.

About us
The club membership is split equally between male and female. While our members range in age from their 20’s to their 80’s, the majority of trampers are in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.

Information for prospective members
We encourage prospective new members to experience 2 or 3 trips with us before joining the club.
Please phone or e-mail a member of the executive or committee if you want to find out more information or receive a newsletter.
If you wish, simply find a tramp in the Trip Program that interests you (See Current Full Trip Program & Newsletter link) and contact the leader.
Note: Non-members must book for all trips so the leader can ensure that the tramp is suitable for you.
To join the club, contact the secretary who will send you a membership form and a newsletter.
