@prasad
Sir, I guess most of the ladies got left out because there was one trek exclusively for ladies this month... and this group has a one trek per month concept. Not to worry, women play a very active role in this group.
I din't get a chance for any treck this month....:(...guys enjoy..
Guys have fun..
Cursing myself as i had to drop at last go.. But cheering up for others..
SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
i have been taking part in many activities in the community n society, at local to international level.i find something that could be qualify as an anomaly!the system of forming the trek groups in the club seems to have resulted in ONLY ONE LADY finding a place!i am of the humble opinion that the group may think of evolving some harmonious method to enable more lady members find a place in different treks/activities.
indian society makes things more difficult to women!
Excited about tomorrows Forest Trek.. C U guys 2moro @ 7:45
I am sorry but I would not be able to make it to the trek due to a family engagement. I just saw that my WL has been upgraded as I had not checked my mail over the last few days. I apologise for the delayed response and wish everybody a lot of fun & adventure.
Hi,
Could you please let me know if we should find our own car-poolers or is it the entire group would meet up in Panjagutta and start? Let me if I should call someone to discuss
extremely sorry to say that i am down with fever, though i am recovering but still i think there r lots of WL candidates who deserve this trek on fitness ground in comparison to me. i shall obey the GHAC rules and thus withdrawing . to all the participants :- have a nice time and bring lots n lots of smiles and pleasant memories.
members can attend only 1 trek per month, those that have rsvped yes for this trek but have attended other treks in the same month are removed - sorry - have to follow rules
i really wanted to join but i am opting out this time ..
40 people -> 8-9 cars -> will it be fun ... ; think its better to have a sequel to this with just 20 ;
Is there any slot open for me? or I'm still in the waiting list?
My RSVP was changed from waitlist to "yes" to wait list again....nahiiii.....only 2 more days to go...hoping that it changes to "yes" again....fingers crossed!!
Two wheelers are not allowed, everyone gets into the available cars
