Kia Ora and welcome,<br />
Wow, what a busy month July was!<br />
Firstly, I want to acknowledge the organising<br />
committee of the National Women’s Indoor Bowls<br />
tournament, held here at the club in early July .<br />
This was a massive event, which was extremely well<br />
run by an energetic and throughly committed team<br />
from our Indoor bowls section.<br />
To Shane, Sue, Donna, Rob and the large team of<br />
volunteers whom so willingly gave of their time for<br />
the full duration of the tournament, congratulations<br />
on a top achievement.<br />
I am well aware that things didn’t go totally to plan early on , teething problems did<br />
present themselves and given the numbers involved, it was difficult to plan for all<br />
scenarios, all of the time, however, with the cooperation of our staff and the<br />
organising committee, solutions in most cases were readily implemented. (To quote<br />
an old saying, ‘It was the putting right that counts’!)<br />
The feedback I received from a majority of our visitors was predominantly positive<br />
and credit for this falls directly to the organising committee.<br />
Our staff , both front of house and restaurant were totally under the pump and thus it<br />
is extremely important that we take the responsible approach to support them, while<br />
also recognising their commitment of going that extra mile during this busy time!<br />
We must remember that during that same window, we also hosted the NZ billiards<br />
and snooker championships which was of a two week duration.<br />
I believe we were great hosts for both events, and our congratulations go to all the<br />
winners of both tournaments, however I would like to make special mention of the<br />
Woolston Club Women’s Four, who won a pulsating final on the last end with the last<br />
bowl bowled on the last evening of the tournament!! What a great thrill for all the<br />
Woolstonites!!<br />

On another positive note, our club hosted the Lincoln University mid year ball,<br />
closing the club for one day. Again, a massive commitment from the staff to a well<br />
run event, with an extremely well earned financial windfall at its conclusion for the<br />
club. Members, thank you for your patience on that particular Wednesday.<br />
The two big shows we hosted in July, the “Totally 80’s” Show and “The Great<br />
Pretenders” were sellouts and massively successful.<br />
Prior to the latter show, our popular bartender Lindi had wee fall, hurting her back<br />
in the process. A doctor was present and Lindi received the appropriate care on the<br />
spot. However, what did really impress me was the many caring club members,<br />
who came to Lindi’s aid, and demanded that I, and the club had a “duty of care”<br />
towards Lindi’s health, wellbeing and safety at this time.<br />
As responsible employers, that is exactly what our staff are entitled to and what we<br />
have an obligation to provide in all instances no matter the circumstances. With the<br />
assistance of other staff, my wife and I on the night, this was provided as one would<br />
expect. Thankfully Lindi has since enjoyed a full recovery.<br />
Looking forward, there are many exciting events and activities coming up on our<br />
calendar, keep an eye out for something that may suit you.<br />
One event coming along in September is the day coach trip to the Methven trots.<br />
Those that attended last year had a ball and I am picking we will get a bus load<br />
again this time round. Keep an eye on the notice board for further details.<br />
Finally, the weather has been so mild, I wonder if winter is about to hit???<br />
Keep warm!<br />
Kind regards,<br />
Ian<br />

I wanted to acknowledge the support and generosity shown recently by Jeff Lee and<br />
the team at Commercial Doors.<br />
Our main front entry doors have been in service for many years but have been<br />
coming to the end of their working life. Spare parts for them have been getting<br />
harder to find as this model is now effectively obsolete.<br />
You may have noticed that the internal doors were not operational for some time<br />
and as winter was approaching this became increasingly pressing. The cost to fix<br />
them was around five thousand dollars.<br />
Are you, or anybody you know, tying the knot?<br />
Visit us Sunday 25th <strong>August</strong> at “With this Ring” Bridal Show, and<br />
find out how the Woolston Club will work for<br />
your special day.<br />
As we are always watching where and how we spend our money, I asked Jeff if<br />
there were any alternative solutions that might help us manage the repair costs.<br />
In the conversation Jeff mentioned that his father Alan or “Bluegum” as he was<br />
known (an Aussie by birth) had been a member of the Woolston Club for over 40<br />
years. A keen member of the indoor bowls section in its heyday Alan represented<br />
the Club at national and regional tournaments over many years. By all accounts Alan<br />
was a real character and likeable member of the Woolston Club family.<br />
As part of an ongoing relationship with the Club, Jeff, in fact had his 21 st birthday<br />
celebration here in the early 80s.<br />
In memory of his father and in recognition of a long family association with the<br />
Woolston Club, Jeff offered to complete the repair work required at no cost to help<br />
out. In fact, both sets of doors have been repaired and will provide the Club with<br />
loyal service no doubt for many more years.<br />
Thanks Jeff, on behalf of the Woolston Club we really appreciate your support.<br />

FISHING SECTION:<br />
The new fishing season is not too far away from starting, so boats and gear are<br />
currently being scrutinized and prepared for the first comp. The most eagerly<br />
anticipated competition is the annual “Take A Kid Fishing,” which is held at the Groynes, on<br />
October 20th. If you go there, you need to get there early to secure what will hopefully be a<br />
productive spot, as 100's of kids test their skills (and the patience of their parents). Lots of<br />
prizes to be contested for, as well as it being a fun day out. Fish and Game, as well as members<br />
from lots of fishing clubs are there to offer advice to keen anglers wishing to develop<br />
their fishing knowledge.<br />
Apart from that, the section has been, and will be celebrating a few birthdays among our<br />
members, so if your birthday is fast approaching, Happy Birthday from the rest of the section.<br />

WARGAMING SECTION:<br />
The last weekend of July saw the<br />
Dinosaur Challenge take place,<br />
where a selection of our most<br />
senior players contested the<br />
Dinosaur Challenge Trophy (after<br />
it was found lurking in a<br />
cupboard). This was organised by<br />
Brian Sowman and involved a full<br />
day of playing out ancient historical<br />
battles on the tabletop.<br />
Andre's Classical Indians earned<br />
the most points over the day.<br />
In the fictional sphere, a<br />
contingent of members are<br />
gearing up for a Lord of the Rings<br />
campaign. Each player will track<br />
the trials and tribulations of their<br />
rag-tag band of troops as they<br />
roam Middle Earth getting into<br />
trouble. This should be just the<br />
entertainment to take us back<br />
into warmer weather. —Zane
BOXING SECTION:<br />
What a team! 100 percent effort, 100 percent heart!<br />

time, the best fight I’ve reffed in a long time, what a war!!” Fight of the night, fight of<br />
the year - had us all on the edge of our seat .. me even jumping out! Awesome!<br />
