Club Captain's Newsletter
Welcome to my first newsletter as your Club Captain. I hope to communicate regularly on what is happening at the Northern Club, especially on up coming events and social activities.

First of all I wish to express my sadness for the loss of Cozzie. He was certainly a loved life member who over the years gave his all for the Club. It was great to see so many club members at his ‘farewell’ in the club rooms.

The winter months have seen indoor bowls being played each Tuesday afternoon at 1.30pm. Under the guidance of Noel Hannah an increasing number of players have been turning out to enjoy these sessions.

Friday night socialising has also continued throughout the winter with a strong brave core of members (15-20) turning up most nights, although the last couple of Fridays have seen 30-40 attending and enjoying themselves. Really good considering the cold temperatures we’ve been having.

Housie is taking a break at the moment but will resume on the first Friday in September (4th), followed two weeks later on Fri 18 Sept. Then it is planned to hold Housie nights on every first and third Friday of each month.

Until then we are planning some fun nights for you. This Friday (14 August) at 5.30p.m. there will be a music trivia evening. Come along, join a team and win prizes by identifying music and artists from the 50’s and 60’s.

On the 21st August at 5.30pm we will be having a “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” evening. Again, come along and make up a winning team.

On the 28th August there will be a “Club Top Punter” competition. Who can make the most money with “paper bets”?

On all three of these social evenings the entry fee is only $2 per person. Come along for lots of fun and laughs – it’s got to be good for you!

With spring just around the corner it’s time to clean up the bowls and get the whites all geared up for another season. I understand (not confirmed) that we hope to start off the season about the middle of September.

In our Club Air NZ Rugby Sweepstake, Marty, Doug, Bevan and Des are among the front runners with Pat and Terry J a little slow out of the blocks. However there is still another 12 weeks to go before we can announce the winners.

Finally, would all members who receive this newsletter who communicate with non-email members please pass on the above information about our social evenings. It’s really important that we have clear links to all our Northern friends.

Enjoy the warmer weather and I’ll see you all down at your Clubrooms.

Kind regards,
Bill Anderson
