President Cheryl's Message
 
 
Hi everyone
 
So much for the warmer weather, and thank goodness for ugg boots. Winter has arrived with a vengeance. I must admit I did miss having four seasons when living in Sydney so I’m not complaining - yet.
 
A pity the weather put a damper on the tree planting. Thanks so much to the members, family and friends who braved the cold wet day to get it all done.
 
Thanks, Cheryl Price for sharing highlights of your past few years with us last week including your experiences of house sitting. A great way to see the world. This week we will be joined by Phil Mackay, the Council’s 'Emergency Management Advisor'. He will be updating us on Civil Defence. As I often say - "don’t forget to invite interested family and friends".
 
Yours aye
Cheryl

Planting of 150 Trees on Pleasant Point Highway (Beside Cycle Track) – Saturday 6.08.22.

 

Last Saturday afternoon 14 members, past members, partners & friends spent the afternoon planting 100 'Pin Oak' trees as part of our club's 'Centennial Project' - to celebrate the club's 100 years since its inauguration in 1927 (along with another 50 donated).

This followed months of planning - including talking to Timaru District Council & Waka Kotahi - NZ National Roads Board to establish if we were allowed to plant trees, the type we could plant, exact location & spacing (by Bruce Borrell & Paul Dewsbery), Ordering trees from Plantarama Nurseries, walking the track to verify where exactly we were going to locate them, marking out the precise locations with wooden stakes, clearing any long grass (by weed eaters) where holes were to be dug, organising Fulton Hogan (last Thursday - Friday to dig holes - which they did free of charge, along with donating the compost to go in with the trees, also the cutting of plastic tube (for the future watering) - donated by Julie & Guy Dockrill.

A fantastic effort by all those involved to which we owe a BIG 'Thank You.'

Editors Humour.
 
Dad passed away recently, and among the messages received by my mother was this e-mail from a great-niece: "Our thoughts are with you, Lucy. You and Chas are the last of an error."

Mike arrived home from work to find all the windows and doors wide open. Apparently, our puppy had had an accident. "Yeah, it really stank," his daughter told him. "In fact, when we first walked in, I thought you had come home early and were cooking dinner."

Allan's wife is a by-the-recipe baker. But that attention to detail still hasn't made her chocolate chip cookies taste any better. One day, after the cookies had been in the oven a while, Allan smelted a familiar odour.
"They're burning," he shouted.
"I know," she said nonchalantly.
"Aren't you going to take them out?"
"No. They still have six minutes."

"What's the difference between an optimist and a pessimist?" Sue asked her husband.
He thought for a minute before responding, "An optimist is a guy who created the aeroplane. A pessimist is a guy who created the parachute."
