  Hut 100th BirthdayThe history:\nIn February 1927, F.G. Gibbs (our club's p
 atron) organised a bunch of men to erect Flora Hut in Edwards Clearing. Thi
 s included the local packman, Jim Heath, and his sons. They completed the w
 est wing in February, and the east end in December. The following year the 
 team returned to build the first Salisbury Huts.\n\nWhen Nelson Tramping Cl
 ub was formed in 1934, the first overnight trip was to Flora Hut, where our
  forebears sheltered in a snowstorm.\nLater, in 1950, a team of hardy NTC t
 rampers renovated the hut. So did NZFS ranger Max Poglaze, in 1972.\nFrom 2
 013-5, NTC members did more significant renovations, including lining the i
 nterior, painting, and fixing the fireplaces.\nThe centenary:\nRock on up t
 he Graham Valley Road to reach Flora car-park. Walk the 30 minutes along th
 e 4WD track down to Flora Hut.\nThere will be a cake to cut, and a new hist
 orical information panel to unveil. (We designed this). \nAfter lunch toget
 her, you can return home, or go on...\nThe tour:\nRay Salisbury is taking a
  tour to the limestone caves, rock shelters, and mining relics on the Table
 land. (His ancestors were the first Europeans to discover the Mt Arthur Tab
 leland, back in 1863.)\nThis is an overnight tramp, staying at the capaciou
 s Salisbury Lodge. See the CALENDAR tab for more details.\nNote: Spaces are
