NEWSLETTER - AUGUST 2021

The Executive Meeting was held as planned on June 19 in Blenheim.

Arising from this - with the change to our name by allowing Clubs to take “Savage” or “Orphans” out of their titles we have been left with no uniformity of what to call our Clubs.

Please put your thinking caps on and come up with a uniform name suitable for use by all the Kindred Clubs.

Clubs who have changed their names :

Ashburton Friendship and Entertainment Club

Horowhenua Parker, Rhythm and Rhym

Macandrew Bay Orphans and Entertainers Club Inc

Manawatu - On Stage Manawatu M.S.A

Masterton Variety Club

Nelson - Variety Entertainment Club of Nelson

Oamaru Variety Entertainers Inc

Waimate Savage and Enertainment Club Inc

Waitara Savage and Entertainment Club Inc

The Hawera Savage Club has sadly gone into recess.

The 44^th Biennial Conference will be held in Hastings during Queens Birthday Weekend - June 3^rd - 6^th 2022.

Conference Registration Fee of $110 per person will be reduced to $100 per person if paid by March 31^st 2022.

The Gisborne Orphans Club have changed their date from 25th September - it is now the 18^th September as they clashed with the Hastings Orphans Club and they like to support each other.

The return of lockdown owing to Covid-19 has again disrupted all activities for everyone throughout New Zealand.

A reminder to all clubs about scams on our computers still being around. Remember don’t get caught out by these. If it sounds too good to be true is most likely is. Certainly check out its authenticity before you pay anything.

To those Clubs who have lost members please accept our sympathy.

Congratulations to those Clubs whose members are having Birthdays or Wedding Anniversaries.

Dominion President Bill Oram has officially visited most of the Clubs but illness got to him so he has still one or two to see. He will notify these Clubs accordingly.

Best wishes for the remainder of 2021 - we will beat this Covid-19 bug yet!!!

Take care - keep safe - be happy

Lynton Hotter

Dominion Secretary/Treasurer

NEWSLETTER - MARCH 2021

Thank you to all clubs who have sent their Club Dates for the 2021 Season to me.

We have not lost any Clubs but there is a few that are struggling and they are having just the odd concert during the season. (but still pay their membership fee)

Time here to gently remind those who have not paid to make plans to do so.

Most clubs have had valuable members pass away and our deepest sympathy goes out to them.

Dominion President Bill Oram has been in hospital for surgery and was unable to drive for six weeks. He will begin his official visiting to all clubs very soon so be prepared to host him. He will be notifying clubs as to when he plans to visit.

During our Telephone Conference, Clubs voted to take the words “Savage” and “Orphans” from our Rules. This has been done and approved by the Incorporated Society. That now means clubs can change their titles if they wish to something more suitable to them - providing the Incorporated Society approves. Those clubs who do not want to change, or change but keep “Savage” or “Orphans” in their title can still do so because ALL CLUBS still belong to the Association of Kindred Clubs of New Zealand Incorporated.

Plans are in place for the Executive to hold their meeting in Blenheim on June 19.

Would you all please make the correction to the telephone number of Alan Horsfall, President of Manawatu. It should read 06 329 6853. The 8 and 6 should be reversed.

It is great to see that clubs have planned to visit each other and it is to be hoped that this season will be an improvement on the ‘none events’ one that we had last year

Best wishes for a successful 2021.

Keep well - keep safe - be happy

NEWSLETTER

December 2020

I would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy and much more enjoyable New Year than 2020 has been.

We are certainly looking for a far better 2021 Season to get out and about and enjoy each-others company more.

We will hopefully overcome Covid 19 but we must take care not to allow this pandemic to get hold of us.

Be careful – Be happy – Be safe

For those who have lost loved ones, our deepest sympathy goes out to you.

Those who are in hospital or have been in hospitals (or unwell) a very cheerie ‘get well soon’.

For those office bearers who deal with them – the forms for each Club to fill in for the name of club, president, secretary, and dates, day and time, venue etc is attached. Those Clubs who have changed their name and/or their officials titles – please use your changes on this form. Could you please have these forms completed and returned to me before the end of February 2021.

This will definitely help me to get the information out Clubs and it will also assist the Dominion President to plan his programme to visit each Club within his two year Presidency Tenure.

Also attached is the Affiliation Fee form which must be attended to no later than 31^st March, 2021.

The ANZ Bank is no longer accepting cheques so PLEASE ensure that you send your fees through a Direct Debit to our ANZ Bank Account

No 06-0361-0020269-00. I would very much appreciate an email when you have done this as it helps me to keep track of the fee details.

Cheers for now Lynton
