Bishopdale TC becomes FMC’s 100th member club
Christchurch based Bishopdale Tramping Club has just been formally accepted as FMC’s newest member club. This brings FMC’s total membership to 100 clubs.
FMC is delighted to welcome one more active tramping club to the ranks of our organisation. We are looking forward to working with Bishopdale TC members on future advocacy work in Canterbury and in New Zealand generally.
We would like to thank all of our member clubs for their continued support and help in reaching this important milestone.
