Western Climber next week. Editor’s boss just spat it, and the editor is filling other people’s shoes as well as his own. Trips, another in two weeks. It’s not just committee members who can organise trips. Anyone can, and if you look at the website, they do all the time, (just not official). You, my eye are quite capable of organising a trip yourself. It’s not necessary to be on committee to do it. The only normal trip missed this year, was Kalbarri, but people still went. And had a good time in spite of the rain.

Lastly. This present committee is made up of some of the busiest people on the planet.

If you see a hole not being filled, there’s a probably a reason for it, why not put your hand. Take on organising one trip yourself.

Example. Rogaines. If only WARA committee members ran Rogaines, there wouldn’t be any. Example, The No Bolts Bouldering Competition is being organised by people not on committee. They are getting all the help we can give them, but they are doing it. Brilliant init.

Is that 500 words yet.

What we need is a climbing community that does stuff, and a committee that makes it possible,and guess what, we actually have. Only the level varies.

Cheers.
