Newsletter July 2019

 

Dear Members,

I’m looking outside my office window as I compose this newsletter and realise that we are over ½ way through Winter and it’s only 4 months till our Christmas Cocktail Party!  You would have to agree that we have had a relatively mild Winter with many lovely crisp sunny days and blue skies.

Many of you will have headed or are planning on heading to the Northern Hemisphere to escape the NZ Winter so enjoy the sunshine and travel safe.

We organized another successful function of the Mid Winter Xmas Dinner at the Milford Cruising Club on Saturday 22nd June. Normally Winter is not the best time to organize a function let alone a dinner, however we sold 78 tickets and it was a huge success. A huge thank you to the committee who did a fantastic job and a special thanks to Esther Hensby-Bennett and Ali Clarke for the fabulous table settings----a lot of time and effort went into making the room look festive.
