Club history
What we do Annual trips Join Constitution Shop

In an ideal world, we would have a concise and summarised history of our club stretching all the way from it's formation in 1921... but I wouldn't hold your breath.

In the meantime, enjoy dipping into the below links to the many resources available online that document the club over these years.

50th Jubilee Publication

For an edited summary of the first 50 years see VUWTC '71

Heels

Our club magazine, the sporadically annual publication of the club:

  • 1962 - 1991 NZETC
  • 1985, 1996 - 1998 Old club site

Other club resources

  • Photos, trip reports, on a classic website old.vuwtc.org.nz/older
  • The same, on a slightly newer but still defunct website old.vuwtc.org.nz/cs
  • Instagram!
  • On the origins of our logo (since 1980ish)

More tenuous links...

  • Spike: Uni mag, trip reports can be found from the 1920s on
  • Salient: Student's association mag, similarly to above, tramping club features in it sporadically
  •  Papers past: try various searches for our early media appearances (generally either the mundane, or tragic):
    • victoria tramping
    • victoria college tramping club
    • victoria university tramping club
