The Peninsula Wilderness
Club is an informal organization for persons interested in active
outdoor pursuits. Activities include hiking, biking,
backpacking, mountain climbing,
rock climbing, kayaking, and skiing. All outings from casual hikes to
technical mountain sports are initiated
by individual members. These
members are volunteers who generously offer to make minimal arrangements so
an outing can take place.
They do not accept responsibility
for the safety or care of any participant.
The PWC does not conduct
instructional programs. Members are expected to have whatever clothing,
equipment, skills, and physical
conditioning required for the
outing they wish to join. Members are also expected to practice responsible
environmental stewardship and
must accept that there are dangers
and risk of injury in outdoor activities.
The PWC also sponsors several monthly
social activities:
·
Regular Monthly Meeting
Meets the second Monday
of each month at 7:00 PM in
the Kitsap Unitarian Fellowship
Church
on Perry
Avenue in East Bremerton. This meeting consists of a
short business session, reports of recent trips, descriptions of upcoming
trips, a door prize drawing and some type of presentation, such as a slide
show. Our meeting is great fun for socializing and the public is
welcome. Newer members are highly encouraged to also attend smaller
group events and outings in order to get to know us.
·
Monthly Activity Planning
Meeting (MAP)
Takes place the Thursday before the
regular monthly meeting at a member's home. The location varies, depending
upon gracious
volunteers
to offer the use of their homes. Members resolve club business; discuss
upcoming trips, and the Penwicle editor gathers material
for the next issue.
·
Monthly Potluck Dinner
The second
Friday following the regular monthly meeting at a member's home, location
varies. The potluck is occasionally replaced by
other events as a summer picnic and/or
dance parties held at area eateries. New members are particularly encouraged
to attend and use
this relatively small
forum to get acquainted with other PWCers.
·
Newsletter Folding
Held one weeknight a month, this small work
party prepares the Penwicle for distribution. The work is not hard, and a
festive atmosphere
takes over. The Penwicle includes a
calendar of activities and upcoming trips, articles describing members'
outdoor activities, club
business and other
important information. The Penwicle is also available online by clicking here.
