Booking Officer Mobile 0456919442
This initiative worked well last year so remains the contact number for our Booking Officer.
It allows for Rod to be mobile in his new retirement & continue answering inquiries on Tuesday nights.
Again the club thanks Rod for his long commitment to the club in the position of Booking Officer.
Peak Weekends Restricted Booking Window
This revised booking allocation also worked well last year and so will remain in place for 2017 bookings. The system limits members initial booking requests to 2 weekends during the peak period, last weekend of July to end of August. (21 July to 26 August) (Lot13,15,17,19,21,23) This enables all members to have fair access to request a booking for these weekends. Booking restriction window ends Tue 16 May.

Junior Ski Week & Weekend – 10 to 16 July
The second week of the school holidays remains a members’ only week for families & their children to enjoy a club supported snow week. This is always a fun week for all with the kids cementing friendships on the snow & in the lodge. Our Club Captain, Kevin will arrange ski & snowboard lessons with Perisher for those interested.
The usual junior development weekend and kids party activities will be on Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 July, so be sure to book early for this weekend for a chance of getting a bed in the lodge. It is still the most popular weekend of all and the kids can enjoy themselves both on & off the snow.
It is good to see we have a new generation taking part in this activity thanks to parents making the time to attend & we encourage this new generation to enjoy the benefits of the club.
Club Race Weekend – Sat 29 July – Sun 30 July
This is a fun weekend for all with a bit of not so serious racing. Races are open to all ages with prizes and trophies to be awarded.
Races will be arranged for the Saturday with plenty of time to enjoy a ski with your fellow members of Steelmakers. Upper Rollercoaster at Blue Cow has been booked for the race, so nonskiers will be able to access the top of the course to cheer on their favourites.
To insure we get the best course conditions, start time will again be 10.00am.
Online registration for this event is required with Perisher Blue for participation. If you intend to compete please advise our Club Captain, Kevin Larkin on Ph 0418353284 for registration details.
The barbecue and celebration back at the lodge is always fun with times revealed and fun awards presented. Book early with Rod Harris to get a bed in the lodge.
Note that as per previous year the club will not be representing in Combined Illawarra Ski Club Races. Note that this event is on the same day as our club race event this year.

Thanks to members for their prompt payment of subs when invoiced. The system has worked extremely well with this invoice along with the MYOB finance reporting system allowing for improved tracking of members subs as well as all financial transactions.
Thanks to our Treasurer, Alan Ritchie for his commitment to developing our MYOB accounts & billing system.
Annual End of Season Celebration
Thanks to those members who attended last year’s event held at Australian Motorlife Museum, West Dapto. At this time we have decided to suspend this annual event and plan for it to occur every second year. We invite suggestions as to what might be best received by members. Perhaps an informal afternoon barbeque might be better attended.
As you can see from the historical dates below, 2018 will be a celebration of 30 years operation of ARIMAC LODGE, this should be good cause for a celebration.
