Bài dịch Active Outdoor Club

I'd like to welcome you all to our Active Outdoor Club. (Tôi muốn chào đón tất cả các bạn đến với Câu lạc bộ Hoạt động Ngoài trời của chúng tôi.) I'll start by telling you a little bit about the history of the club and all that it can offer and there will be a chance for you to ask questions over tea and coffee in the lobby afterwards. (Tôi sẽ bắt đầu bằng cách kể cho bạn nghe một chút về lịch sử của câu lạc bộ và tất cả những gì câu lạc bộ có thể cung cấp và sau đó bạn sẽ có cơ hội đặt câu hỏi trong khi uống trà và cà phê tại sảnh.) You'll also be able to pick up pamphlets from the table at the back of the hall and, if you wish to purchase any of our products, Bill will serve you at the front counter. (Bạn cũng có thể lấy tờ rơi từ chiếc bàn ở phía sau hội trường và nếu bạn muốn mua bất kỳ sản phẩm nào của chúng tôi, Bill sẽ phục vụ bạn tại quầy lễ tân.)

As most of you probably know, the club was founded by Nick Noble about 30 years ago. He thought of placing an advertisement in the local newspaper or erecting a billboard somewhere but it was the radio that he decided on to reach the most people—you know, other people who might be interested in outdoor pursuits, just basic activities like walking or tramping—anything active that could take place in some of the beautiful outdoor settings that this country has to offer.

Nick was overwhelmed by the response he got and the club soon grew from a dozen or so friends and enthusiasts to around 200 members 20 years ago, and steadily since then to reach a membership of over 2,500 now. You don't have to be a hardened athlete or extreme adventurer—on the contrary, it's a group that encourages friendship and fellowship through social and recreational activities. The club tries to cater for all levels of maturity and both genders —in fact, anyone who has the physical ability and a moderate level of health and fitness to participate in open-air activity on a regular basis. I think our youngest member is a 5-year-old boy and our oldest member is a 75-year-old man. Of course we have more challenging opportunities for those who are up to it but all excursions are graded according to level of difficulty and there will always be something for those families with small children. More about that later...

I'm sure you realize that it's part of the focus of the club to ensure that our natural environment is kept as pristine as possible. We all have a keen interest in conservation and many of our members contribute their time, or give a monetary donation, to organisations that work to enhance and beautify our natural heritage.

Okay, now going back to the grades of activity...First of all, tramping . This is very popular with singles and couples without children but is certainly not restricted to those groups. Tramping is arranged for Tuesdays and Saturdays throughout the year. Most tramps are of a duration of 3 to 5 hours depending on the weather and the terrain, and of course, the time of year. You would need to check the newsletter or the website to find out place and time and, if you wish to participate, phone the coordinator who can give you more information.

I'll move on now to walking which is very popular with families but open to everyone and walks are arranged for every Thursday and every Sunday over the course of the entire year. Walks last no more than 3 hours, although the Thursday walks might be shorter; and again, you would have to check the newsletter for details of the time and area to meet and get in touch with the walking organiser to confirm your participation.

Now, the Wanderers are what you might call a sub-group of the Active Outdoor Club. This group was set up to cater for the less active, more elderly, or families with very young children who still want to enjoy the great outdoors but without quite so much exertion. Bear in mind that the length of these activities is variable but we're always home before dark. Any member of the club is welcome to join in their activities on a Sunday which include visiting some of our more beautiful parks and botanical gardens, beach walks, picnics and even boat trips to visit some of the small islands off the coast. Often guided tours can be arranged if there is enough interest. If you'd like to see what the Wanderers are up to, check the website and then phone the leader for more information.

I'll bet you're all ready for that cup of tea now, but before I finish, I really must mention something that can be a lot of fun, a great opportunity to form new or strengthen existing friendships, and a chance to explore a part of the country that you may never have seen before. These are our ' Mystery Weekends'. The Committee puts a lot of time and effort into the organisation of these weekends away not only for health and safety reasons but also to ensure that everything runs smoothly and everyone has a good time. There will be a charge to cover travel and accommodation costs but, apart from that, it's an affordable and exciting weekend away from the city. For more information call the chairman of the committee—you'll find his phone number in the newsletter.

So, that's all I have to say at this point—please enjoy the refreshments, chat with others, and feel free to ask questions. All the committee members are wearing large red name badges so they're easy to find.
