THANK YOU KING STREET MOTORS
 
Thanks to King Street Motors for carrying out a Warrant of Fitness inspection of the Hot Dog Caravan at no cost to the Club, and then carrying out some maintenance work, again at no cost to the Club.  What great support of our efforts for the community.

Thank You Humphris Engineering

President-Elect Lynette's Message
 
Hi everyone,
 
As Cheryl mentioned in last week’s newsletter, she is currently enjoying a well-earned break with family in the US, we wish her well and look forward to catching up at changeover.

It would seem this is a popular time for travel, we have quite a few members either just returning from overseas or ready to depart to warmer climates for the winter holidays or family catchups, as well as some ready to welcome their family as they return for visits. We are so lucky to be able to enjoy making travel plans again, mind you, not much to complain about for us in Timaru, here we are on the shortest day, still enjoying some sunshine and the garden has no idea what season it is, with spring flowers blossoming.

This week we held the 'Annual Meeting' of the Charitable Trust on Sunday, this was the last meeting for Ashley Milliken as he has fulfilled his two years as Trustee, as has John Barton, both of whom have contributed wisely, and their input has been greatly valued and appreciated. They will be ably replaced by Greg Sugrue & Robin Peterson.

At the 'Annual General Meeting' of the Club on Tuesday evening, we confirmed the appointment of Jenny Ensor and Emma Walton-Woodings as Directors and we wished Ian Behrnes well as he retires, following many years of valuable service to our club. We have yet to fill the position of President-Elect for 2024-2025.

Planning is taking shape for what we hope will be an eventful year ahead.

Just prior to the start of our meeting Greg Sugrue received confirmation of the sale of the house he and Melissa have owned for 15 years, so we know what they will be doing for the next few weeks!! Shifting…. Good luck.

Please remember to RSVP to your invitation to join us for “Thanksgiving dinner”/Changeover on 4th July, advising your choice of menu prior to Wednesday 28th June.

Stay warm and travel safe!

Lynette Wilson

Upcoming HDV Event
 
 
Save the date! 
We have an upcoming HDV event with a slight difference! We will be operating the HDV along with a BBQ for the Aspect Trust Fundraising Tug of War event. 
 
The event will be held at the Morgans Road Indoor Stadium, Saturday 26th August (during the evening) and we will be the food vendor where ticket holders can redeem their tickets for some snacks from us, as well as selling food if they are still hungry! 
 
Details and times etc will be finalised closer to the time but I will be looking for both BBQ people and HDV workers for the event.  The roster has been updated on the website so you can add your name if you are free on the evening (by clicking here...).
Let me know if you have any issues getting into the roster. 
 
Many Thanks 
Jess
Information Required
 
Remember this is "your" bulletin and so please email information to me on what your committee is doing (or planning) so everyone can be aware of it.
Lack of the above will mean the bulletin is not advising the members of what is happening in the club & particapation will be down.
