NEWSLETTER

January 2019

Hope you all had a happy Christmas with family and friends and will have a very enjoyable and prosperous New Year. For those who have lost loved ones our deepest sympathy.

For those of you who know Jim Kemsley – he celebrated his 100^th Birthday last October. He wants me to let everyone know that he is now residing in Taurima Rest Home in Clawton Street, New Plymouth but he still has that very good brain and remembers everything and everybody.

At this time I wish to remind Clubs that Affiliations must be in to me not later that the 31^st March 2019.  I also remind you all to have your personnel changes and meeting dates in by the end of February so that I can get the Calendar out early.  I am unable to let Clubs know of our Dominion President Ken Ham’s movements as I haven’t heard from him recently. He and Karenne have moved to Waikawa and Ken would like any mail to be sent care of the address above.

Also I have not heard of any Club wishing to host our Kindred Club Executive Meeting which needs to be held to pass the Financial Report and Balance Sheet and any other items of interest. At this stage I intend to contact Jim Lawrence and am hoping that he will consider hosting this meeting at the Manawatu Savage Club (as he did with the North Island Executive Meeting 2017). Palmerston North is a fairly central situation for both North and South as the airport has regular flights in and out from both islands. 

This will be held on a weekend early in the 2019 Season if possible. Will let all Executive members know as soon as it can be arranged. 

Lynton Hotter, Dominion Secretary.

Matters Arising: 

1 Banner presented by Wayne and Hokitika was accepted with a vote of thanks.

General Business:

1 Christchurch SC , because they have not officially resigned from the Association in writing   

   and have continued to pay their Affiliation Fee – are still eligible to attend Association’s 

   Functions.

2 Ashburton SC had not added ‘Savage’ to their change of name.  It was Moved by Philipa    

   and Seconded by Ken That: ‘Ashburton Savage Club’ must be in their official name.      (C)

   But their marketing stratagory  may be without the word ‘Savage’ in their Heading.

Ken/Brian (C)
