Kia ora and welcome,<br />
Boy oh boy was the month of April busy or what, at the club!<br />
I would like to firstly acknowledge the work and commitment of our staff, especially<br />
around a hectic Easter weekend and secondly thank you, the members for your enthusiastic<br />
support of the club!<br />
Thank you to Holly and Daryl, from our boxing section for organising and running two very<br />
successful boxing / kick boxing events in our sports hall during the early part of the month.<br />
It is great to have these two key locally run events back at the club!<br />
On the cards scene, I have learnt that one of our more senior members, Ethel has won the<br />
New Zealand Cribbage Championship title, held recently in Wellington. This is her second<br />
title in two years which I have been told is a remarkable feat!<br />
Congratulations Ethel, this is a wonderful achievement.<br />
Our two large Associate winter sports sections, Cash Tech football and Linwood rugby<br />
league have kicked their respective seasons off. We wish them both well, and trust they<br />
will enjoy their season and replicate their successes of last year. Cash Tech are trailing having<br />
their after match functions in the community room at the sports pavilion, which we<br />
hope will remove some of the pressure from around the main club area of a Saturday afternoon/evening.<br />
Recently the Board set the date of Saturday the 29 th June for our clubs AGM.<br />
As per our clubs rules, four Board members, being Colin, Neil, Leigh, Donna along with<br />
myself, as President, are required to stand down. All however, are eligible for nomination<br />
for re-election. Under the club rule structure, every year it provides an opportunity for any<br />
member wishing to challenge for any vacancies to seek nomination. If becoming a Board<br />
member has appeal and you’re unsure, then I am happy to have a chat to you about the<br />
role.<br />
Speaking of AGM’s, it is the time of the year that many sections within our club either have<br />
or about to hold theirs. I personally would like to thank the many volunteers that make the<br />
sections what they are. It can sometimes be a thankless task, however, from one that has<br />
donated too many hours than I would care to count over more than 4 decades, it is I believe<br />
an extremely satisfying way to give to others. <strong>May</strong>be it is time for you to consider<br />
making a difference.<br />
On that note, enjoy the beautiful colours as the tree’s lose their leaves, and as we head for<br />
the darker days of winter, keep healthy, warm and well and remember, there is always<br />
something on at your club for you to enjoy!<br />
Regards , Ian.<br />

Firstly to all our members, friends and family that visited us over Easter Weekend thank<br />
you. We appreciate your support of the Club over what was a very busy period, I would also<br />
like to acknowledge Amy, Steph and their teams who were on the front line for the variety of<br />
activities and events that were held across both Easter and Anzac Day, well done.<br />
There is plenty happening throughout <strong>May</strong> so I hope that you will find something to enjoy;<br />
The “Amy and Adele” songbook performed by Bloom is here on Saturday 5 th . Live from Melbourne<br />
pre-sale tickets are $35 or $40 on the door on the night. This show will be with us<br />
from 7.30pm after a very successful tour of Clubs in the North Island.<br />
The “Vague as Brothers” are back Saturday 18 th and always draw a good crowd so make sure<br />
you are here early to get your seat.<br />
Our annual “Pink Ribbon” quiz will be held on Wednesday 29 th . This has been a great event for<br />
a really worthy cause that has been well supported by both members and teams from outside<br />
the Club in previous years. Please put the date in your diary and get a team together to come<br />
and help raise funds for breast cancer research and patient support.<br />
The Super Rugby tipping competition is over the halfway mark and the current pace setters are<br />
Val Willis and Robyn Philp both on 93 points with plenty of competition not far behind. Apart<br />
from the Crusaders, picking the winners has seemed a bit of a lottery at times as this season it<br />
looks like almost any team is capable of winning on the day. There is also a brewery promotion<br />
in <strong>May</strong> for 2 double passes to the Crusaders v Blues match on <strong>May</strong> 25 th , drawn Saturday 18 th<br />
you will need to be here to be in with a chance to win them.<br />
With the Rugby World Cup just around the corner Spark have announced the cost of the package<br />
for all games shown in commercial premises and it has turned out to be a very reasonable<br />
price. We are currently working through what is required to show the games but we will have<br />
this in place before the tournament so you will be able to watch the All Blacks and other<br />
matches of interest here in your second lounge room.<br />
Our first Wine Club date has been booked for Thursday 16 th June, details to follow. Church<br />
Road wines are also running a” wine of the month” special in <strong>May</strong> where entries go into a<br />
draw for a Nespresso coffee machine, which seems like a terrific prize which one of you lucky<br />
members will win.<br />
As the season changes we are also working on a new winter restaurant menu which will be<br />
launched during the month. A selection of your favourites with some new dishes to tempt the<br />
taste buds at a prices which we hope will give great value for money, watch this space! The<br />
weekly food rituals have been refreshed with some great deals from Tuesday – Saturday, details<br />
are included in the newsletter.<br />
Have a great month and see you around the Club.<br />
Regards, Tim.
CARDS SECTION:<br />
Our cribbage team went to Porirua competing for the National Cribbage Trophy and<br />
came back with great results.<br />
Ethel Aranga won the National trophy for <strong>2019</strong>, this is the second win of the Cribbage<br />
Trophy for Ethel in three years an outstanding<br />
achievement. The Sunday game “win” was jointly<br />
won by Ethel Aranga and Edwin Marshall another<br />
great achievement at the nationals from our team.<br />
FISHING SECTION:<br />
Well the fishing section have been on tour again.. back to Lake Brunner for another<br />
challenge.<br />
This time it was a multi clubs competition, all trying to win the coveted Jack Elcock trophy,<br />
which is a Hornby Club event.15 boats, 45 adult anglers and 3 juniors all trying<br />
their best from 5pm Friday afternoon until 4pm on the Saturday. Weigh-in at the<br />
lovely Moana Hotel but we forgot about a Crusaders rugby game that had a 5.30 start.<br />
Needless to say, the pub was packed, the beer and the noise were both doing well,<br />
and the presentation headed outside for some hopefully relative quietness... except<br />
when the Crusaders scored. After all the tallying up was done, time for the results, and<br />
to our delight, Donna won the main trophy, the first lady to win it and even better that<br />
Donna is one of ours.!!! Yay!! go the ladies. The juniors did well too.. we had 2 of them<br />
and they finished 1st and 2nd.. not a bad effort as we did well in the spot prizes too.<br />
Some interesting scenery was around just after Mother Nature had unleashed a torrent<br />
of rain just the week before we got there. Travelling over was different with snow<br />
flurries around Porters Pass and a lot of snow had been dumped along the main divide<br />
in the few days prior to us travelling..<br />
A quiet few weeks for us now but plotting and planning is underway for an assault on<br />
the southern lakes in June. (Thermals are already being sorted)<br />
Cribbage is becoming a more popular<br />
game amongst our members. The section<br />
committee have introduced cribbage on<br />
Tuesday “card night” assuming enough<br />
players are available on the night. This is<br />
an opportunity for new and old members<br />
to learn from the best.<br />
Thanks, Karen<br />
New members are most welcome to come along on Tuesday night at 7pm to play Euchre.
GARDEN SECTION:<br />
<strong>May</strong>, there is a hint that winter is apparent as plant growth for most plants slows down.<br />

The Steinlager Euchre Tournament, played at Papanui Club. Papanui club were excellent<br />
hosts. Peter and Jan Logan were placed 4 th in the pairs and Woolston Club<br />
placed 3 rd in the team event another great result for the card section.<br />
Interclub games start in <strong>May</strong>, if you enjoy playing euchre or cribbage here is a wonderful<br />
opportunity to meet other affiliated club members and enjoy a great Saturday<br />
out. Note, you need to be a member of the card section to participate.<br />
The card section AGM held in February voted in a new president and secretary upon<br />
the retirement of Peter and Jan Logan. Under their stewardship the card section<br />
blossomed and grew, winning multiple interclub, national and special tournaments<br />
during their reign. Peter and Jan were always there to organize and run section<br />
events, no amount of thanks can show the card sections appreciation.<br />
Regards,<br />
Norm Cumming<br />
BILLIARDS SECTION:<br />
The Canterbury Billiards Inter-Club season is well under way with the Wednesday<br />
Woolston team of Paul / Lyndon & Cris leading the way @ the half way stage &<br />
the team of Dick. Kevin Peter. & Barry in a 3 way race to see which team will take<br />
out the Monday night competition.<br />
Garden Tips<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Time to concentrate on soil preparation for spring and summer planting by applying<br />
compost and Lime. Plant Broad Beans and garlic.<br />
Lift Dahlia’s and store in a dry place.<br />
Protect plants with frost cloth so they don’t frost<br />
Please note that we have changed from the 3 rd to the 4 th Wednesday 22 nd <strong>May</strong>.<br />
The Garden section runs 12 months of the Year.<br />
Happy Gardening!<br />
