A New Club Needed

A New Club Needed

Dear Sir,

NO BIG WORRIES - NO KIDS, WIFE Y'KNOW

Many years ago at this University there used to be a club known at VUNCC (pronounced 'vunk'), the initial standing for the Victoria University Night Climbing Club. Although, as far as I can gather, it was in existance for only a few months, it notched up several "firsts", including the Hunter Traverse, the Carrillion Climb, and the removal of the flag from the top of the National Bank Building in Featherston street. It was during the descent of the latter that an intervention by the local constabulary brought about the demise of VUNCC.

The purport of this communication is to enquire of the readers of "Salient" as to whether there would be any enthusiasn to the reforming of such a club, and if so, under what circumstances. I shall judge whether to pursue the subject further by the number of replies to this letter; so if you are interested, please write in.

Yours sincerely,

Ian Stenwick.

P.S. Did you know that the P.O. Box number of the Alexander Turn ball Library, and the height of Mt Cook in feet are the same; viz. 12349?!
