Newsletter August 2019
Hi Members,
Well what an August we are experiencing with incessant rain! I hope many of you have managed to get away to somewhere warm-----and dry! Officially only another week until Spring and then daylight saving.
Thank you to those who attended our AGM on Saturday 10th August. Basically there was no changing of the guard and I’m happy to serve another year as President. We said farewell to Jacqui Wright who served 7 years on the committee and Executive committee and is moving to Christchurch this week----we will miss you Jacqui. Also thank you to Lyn Franklin who has given much of her time to the FWA committee over the years. Lyn has stepped down this year. We have 2 younger members elected onto the committee and we welcome Judith Barr and Tracey Scott who will be a great help to Rebecca when she becomes President next year. It’s great to see some younger members put their hand up. We also welcome back Lana Simpson so I know we will have fun planning our functions.
