Langrenn
Langrenn
Ski club is a small ski club that owns a two bedroom flat at Falls
Creek.
The
club originated largely from a group of people who became known to
one another from their association with the National Fitness Council of
Victoria and the Mountaincraft Leadership programme. This group, after
skiing, bushwalking and canoeing together over a number of years, were
looking for a home to call their own.
It was first thought that they might build a lodge themselves, but it
was decided that purchasing a flat involved much less work.
Proceedings
were formalised in May 1972. The club had 30 members and
purchased shares in Imaj, which gave them right of occupancy of Flat 4
in the newly constructed Imaj block of flats in Falls Creek Rd.
Over
the years there has been much work done: initially to set up the
interior of the flat and to transform the basement into a useable
storage and workspace. More recently the kitchen has been completely
refurbished and flar recarpeted. While the refit was done
professionally, the planning, demolition and repainting was done by the
members.
A
regular maintenance programme over summer each year has ensured that
the flat is always in top shape.
Most
of the original members still belong to Langrenn, although not all are
as active as they once were.
The
club celebrated its twentieth anniversary with a weekend at the RACV
Country Club and Healesville, and the 21st birthday with a dinner in
Melbourne.
