Kia Ora, Happy New Year and a very, warm welcome to <strong>2019</strong>!<br />
Before I start looking ahead to the New Year ahead, I just want to take a little time<br />
to reflect back on the happenings of an extremely busy and action packed<br />
December as we celebrated the end of yet another year.<br />

Earlier in the month, we had the very popular Old Timers Day and whilst the<br />
numbers were slightly down from last year, I received great feedback from those<br />
who attended, with many really enjoying the entertainment provided. (Sorry to say<br />
that wasn’t you, Andy)<br />
The Family Gala day was a massive success. We had a huge turnout of families,<br />
heaps of children that just had a ball with the pony rides, bouncy castle, face<br />
painting, plus entertainment from Sports Suzie, the hugely popular Princess Bonita<br />
and of course the visit from the big man himself, Santa aka Shaun.<br />
The day went without a hitch which resulted in fabulous feedback from the<br />
attendees; young and old. It would not have been the success that it was without<br />
the big volunteer contingent lead by Andy Chivers, Colin Tupuhi, and their fellow<br />
Board members. Tim, Ella and Amy, who perfectly complemented our brilliant staff,<br />
and of course a team of very passionate club members who so generously gave<br />
their time on the day. I personally want to thank each and every one of you that<br />
was involved; I can tell you it made me very proud as your President.<br />
Then to round off the success of the day, we had Christmas Carols performed by<br />
the Canterbury Brass Band. They were superb and if you didn’t get along to hear<br />
them, I would truly recommend you put it on the radar for next year.<br />
Christmas Day at the club was a sell-out, creating a very special day of festive celebrations<br />
and of course camaraderie. Accordingly, my thanks go to the staff in acknowledgment<br />
for the sacrifices they made to ensure this day was such a special<br />
one for everyone that attended.<br />

NEW $10 LUNCH MENU!<br />
OUT NOW!
The last 3 months of the year have been very hectic, and very financially viable for<br />
the Clubs’ survival.<br />
To carry on this momentum into the New Year, Board member Michael Backhurst is<br />
leading a strategy focus group which is tasked to come up with fresh, new ideas and<br />
initiatives to boost our Clubs’ performance in the quieter months of the year.<br />
Should you wish to contribute to this important project, please do not hesitate to<br />
share your thoughts with Michael, Tim or any of your Board members. Any idea, no<br />
matter how big or small will be passed to the Strategy Focus Group for consideration.<br />
There is an old saying, “many hands make light work” or in our case, “many ideas will<br />
make the Club prosper!”<br />
On a personal note, my New Year begins with a change of job; I have taken up a<br />
position as a cargo handler at the Lyttelton Port Company. Ironically, I will be working<br />
at the very institution which was a catalyst to the birth of the Woolston Club!<br />
Looking ahead, <strong>2019</strong> has many exciting activities, events and international<br />
tournaments to look forward too. Liz and I would like to take this opportunity to wish<br />
all of our members and their families a positively happy, healthy and prosperous new<br />
year!<br />
<br />
Retro Roast, Wednesday Quiz Night & Vege<br />
Bingo will be taking a break and will return<br />
on the 23rd <strong>January</strong>!
Happy New Year to all,<br />
I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and New Year, with some time to relax and<br />
spend with family and friends.<br />
December was a busy month with a number of external functions and I would like to<br />
thank all the staff for their hard work and commitment to giving these guests a great<br />
time.<br />
Once again, it was terrific to see so many of our regular patrons and some new faces in<br />
the Club over the festive season, and we had a great time celebrating with all from Old<br />
Timers Day, Family Gala Day, Xmas Day luncheon to bringing in the New Year.<br />
I’d would really like to thank each and every one of the staff that provided their services<br />
for our guests on Christmas Day. It definitely would not have been possible without you<br />
so thank you for making this year’s Christmas Lunch a huge success once again.<br />
<strong>2019</strong> promises to be another exciting and challenging year.<br />
This year, we have some fantastic entertainment lined up for you: 80’s Throwback<br />
Show, OZ to NZ Country Music Dinner Show and Amy & Adele Songbook to name a few.<br />
The entertainment committee is working hard to provide some quality live music and<br />
events this year to show case the great venue we have here. We will also see the return<br />
of some of our much-loved annual events such as Pink Ribbon Quiz so make sure to<br />
keep an eye out on our events calendar for details.<br />
All areas of the Club including the food and beverage offers will be reviewed and<br />
fine-tuned to ensure that they attract current members and new members back in on a<br />
more regular basis, while still looking after our already very loyal members who are the<br />
back bone of the Club on a day to day basis. We will revisit menus, wine lists,<br />
promotions and entertainment and all areas of the business so that we keep our<br />
services current, fresh, relevant and fun.<br />

putting in. Garden flowers and vegetables are showing some results with colour and<br />
produce.<br />

QUOITS SECTION:<br />
The Quoits section had their Christmas breakup<br />
meal in the Club restaurant on Friday 14th<br />
December. What a wonderful evening it turned out<br />
to be. There were 26 of us dining and not one<br />
negative word was heard about our lovely meals.<br />
Many thanks to all the staff on the night.<br />
On Saturday, we played our last game for the year,<br />
playing the Papanui triples. Richmond ran the event<br />
on the day and it was lovely to have players from<br />
Ashburton there too. Thanks to Richmond for the food they organised<br />
from our restaurant, again it was great.<br />
The weather was awesome, wonderful conditions for quoits. The<br />
Woolston team took the trophy; they were good enough on the day.<br />
Congratulations ending the year on a win!<br />
We weren't good enough the week before to obtain the Gray Shield from<br />
Richmond, but another enjoyable day was had by all. Congratulations to them too.<br />
We were outside on Gala Day demonstrating our game, some of the people who tried had a<br />
natural ability which was good to see. They also discovered it's not as easy to play as it looks.<br />
We also had raffles which proved very popular with 7 or 8 draws for each ticket and the winners<br />
getting pick of the table, but the most popular of our stalls was the lucky dips for the children.<br />
There seemed to be way more people than last year so we could have sold twice as many lucky<br />
dips. Next year we'll have more. The Gala Day was a lot of fun for young and old alike. The Club<br />
and all the board, helpers and entertainers did a wonderful job. To also have the Brass Band<br />
again just topped off the day. It felt like Christmas was nearly here.<br />
We'd like to thank Ella for reminding us monthly to get our stuff in, what a good job she is doing<br />
with the newsletters.<br />
Merry Christmas to everyone!
What a fantastic afternoon on Sunday for our annual<br />
Family Gala Day! Great turnout, and fun for the whole<br />
family!!<br />
Thank you to all our staff, volunteers and sections who<br />
helped make the day a success!<br />
Thanks to our entertainers & activities<br />
