MVB Events Update Sunday 19th April 2015

The New MVB Website

This has been a long time coming but finally its here - first thing you will notice is the Upcoming Events listing on the website is not in chronological order - we are working on it! and its reproduced below and after some deft cutting and pasting is now up to scratch. Editor note: as at April 21 this issue has now been resolved

The update was required because the previous version of the software that drives the website was out of date and was no longer being supported. This had security implications so the upgrade was essential. You will notice changes but hopefully you wont be scratching your head for too long. Please advise Tony or Peter if you are experiencing problems and cannot see a way around it. A known issue is an error message that appears after you press continue after receiving acknowledgement of an event booking.that says "You are not authorized to view this resource". You can safely ignore this as the booking completes successfully anyway. We have not fully tested how the new site behaves on mobile devices so any feedback on this would be appreciated.

Believe it or not we are not as comfortable in the role of computer nerds as we are playing the role of bushwalkers getting out and about and doing this sort of thing!

Campsite at Forest Camp

The upcoming program has been reproduced below and what an extraordinary program of events it is!

Cycling

Its great to see a number of cycling events - note John Jamison has an evening ride to the Barnie Pub this week and Anne is taking a ride out to Wonga Wetlands on the new track.

Corryong Crew

The Upper Murray contingent of the club are back in numbers and Iris is leading day walks into areas new for the club.

Hans continues to find more and more fascinating places to walk both midweek and on weekends - who has been to Mt Jack before? or even know where it is (out past Dederang I believe)

Harringtons track is a wonderful walk along the Murray that Iris has led before and is offering it again on May 2nd

Evening walks resume on May 5th with Peter on McFarlanes Hill and there is a great opportunity to walk the Flaggy Creek Gorge track in Mt Lawson State Park with Hans on May 9th

Loyal traditionalists in the club will jump at the opportunity to have High Tea on the cycling bridge at Sandy Creek with the Rail Trail group on May 16th

Canoeing at Bundalong

Unfortunately the final magnum opus event had to be cancelled due to the weather this weekend - but we are pretty certain the river will still be there next time we program the event!
