5 Stars Evening

Vietnamese Restaurant Rotary Evening

 
Last Thursday President Lois decided that we could all do with a change of venue and a social night out for our members.
 
Over 35 of us, including partners, squashed into 3 round tables at the 5 Star Restaurant in Ilam on an extremely cold night.
 
We soon warmed up with good company and wine.
 

It’s always great to sit beside someone in the club that you may not have known too much about before and soon the stories flowed just as liberally as the wine.

Mixing up your meetings with social occasions, coffee mornings, happy hours and speakers keep us all on our toes and gives our newer members an opportunity to chat with us which is so important to making everyone feel valued in our club.

Thank you Lois it was a good evening.
 
Here is a short 45 second video for those who missed out.
 
 
Hanmer Working Bee Weekend
HANMER WORKING BEE & MEMBERSHIP EVENING
 
We have had to change the Hanmer Forest Camp Working Bee weekend due to a clash with the Crusaders Rugby game !!   We had a great time working together last year so don’t want anyone to miss this opportunity to help out.
 
The rugby is on the Friday night when we had planned to have a meeting with interested people in starting a satellite club in Hanmer. We didn't think anyone would come knowing how everyone loves to watch the game.
 
Please note the new dates of the 8th, 9th and 10th June. The accommodation at the camp is free for us as we will be working on projects both inside and out according to the weather.
It’s a great weekend of FUN and SOCIAL interaction and we hope that we have a good turnout.
 
Great company, wonderful food, drinkable wine and we get some things done too !
