The Lodge was well used over the summer break with several different groups taking advantage of this prime spot for exploring the Matukituki Valley or just taking a break from city stresses.

A new feature at the Lodge is that each bunkroom has now been named in honour of a previous staff member who was influential in the set-up and running of the Lodge in its earlier days. The people who have been selected for the 6 bunkrooms are;

Henry Stoddart

Bill Trewern

Magnus Sinclair

Peter Foster

Murray Oben

Richard Wilton

In the future, a brief description of what their contribution was along with some anecdotes and a photo will be mounted in the appropriate bunkroom. It is important that the boys recognise the efforts that went into creating the opportunities they have today.
