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 />
