Kia Ora and welcome, 

As we head into spring, many of the winter based sectional 

activities are drawing to a close. 

Our card section almost trumped the majority of clubs in New 

Zealand by earning the runner-up spot in the National teams 

aggregate at the ClubsNZ tournament recently held in Blenheim. 

Their silver medal performance was an outstanding 

achievement and is covered in more depth later in this publication. 

Congratulations again to one of our associate members, 

Linwood Rugby League, on winning the Canterbury RL 

Premiership competition for a record fourth consecutive 

season, this was last achieved in the 1970s! 

Celebrations went late into the night to mark this wonderful 

achievement! 

The one thing with that is not as visible when celebrating this success is the work that goes on 

in the background, probably from early January in putting the building blocks in place to make 

this success come to fruition. On that note I would like to highlight the work of the Footy 

club’s President, Hanna Kakoi, a busy working mum with a young family. The stuff you do in 

the background goes predominantly unseen, however we do want to acknowledge your input 

and trust you will have a well deserved break. 

While speaking of unsung heroes, I would also like to acknowledge the huge work load of one 

of our boxing sections leaders, Holly Sullivan. 

Holly has a great team around her in providing boxing opportunities for our youth, potential 

stars of the future, and it is her passion, drive and organisational skills that make this happen. 

Thank you Holly! 

September sees the clubs of Canterbury Race day out at the Methven trots. We have a bus 

load of members heading down for a day out. I believe there may still be a few seats available, 

so get in quick for a fun day out, first in best dressed! 

Enjoy the lovely daffodils and longer days ahead!

Ian

Hi to all, 

Just when you think the season has changed, Winter pops back with a little sting in 

the tail. We can’t be far away though as the front gardens are starting to show 

plenty of new growth, daffodils are out, the gardeners have even been getting closer 

to mowing the front lawns but the wet weather forecast this week might put this 

back. 

So with the change of season around the corner Amy, Steph and their teams have 

taken the opportunity to freshen up the restaurant and bar food menus, weekly 

rituals and promotions and you will see these roll out across the month of 

September with some great deals and the return of some old favourites. 

On there way are several great value food & drinks rituals, steak, ribs and pizza 

deals. Kids eat free on Fridays (T&C apply). Good food at a great price, so spread the 

word to fellow members, neighbours, family and friends. We really appreciate your 

continued support in the bar and restaurant. The two course “roast buffet” 

continues on a Sunday evening. 

Whitford’s bar will see a seasonal “Spring Fling” cocktail promotion commence with 

some traditional classics at great value pricing to put a spring in your step. New wine 

menu, bar games and a wider range of beverage products to showcase local 

producers will be introduced. 

Congratulations to Linwood Rugby League, the senior men’s side is back to back 

champions now four years in a row and the reserves also won their Grand Final, 

awesome results. Cashmere Technical also had a stellar season and compete in the 

English Cup final this Saturday 7th, well done. Cricket will be back out on Garrick 

Park from the beginning of October, welcome back. 

The Rugby World Cup commences in a couple of weeks, can the AB’s make it a three 

in a row?! We have booked the Sky package which means we will be able to show all 

matches live, although the timings of some matches won’t suit the New Zealand 

audience. There are Heineken promotions, food & beverage details, TAB vouchers to 

be won so keep an eye on the noticeboards for all the details including which 

matches are on when. Go the All Blacks! 

The “Vague as Brothers” and “The Bottlejacks” headline the entertainment 

schedule during the month, always crowd favourites. Put it in your diary. 

Catch up during the month. 

Regards, Tim.

Saturday 5th October | 7.30pm | Sports Bar 

Very shortly, you’ll be able to renew your membership 

online via our website. We are hoping to launch this in the 

next couple of weeks. 

Keep an eye out for updates! 

Have you heard about our new, regular dance evenings? 

Held every month (alternating between Rock n Roll and Country), it’s 

the perfect opportunity to come down and show off your skills! 

Entry just a gold coin on arrival.

CARD SECTION: 

The Inter club games have concluded with an exciting finish. 

Many regular players were not available for the last three games of the competition, so our 

new players have stepped up and excelled for Woolston to come 2nd overall, bringing home 

both the travelling and aggregate trophies for the Club. 

Thanks must also go out to our regular players and the Cards committee. Cards are fun and 

new players are welcome along on Tuesday night. 

Card Section President, Norm.

Happy Gardening! Dianne.

FISHING SECTION: 

The season kicks off in October for the start of the trout season. A reminder that 

Take a Kid fishing is on at The Groynes on Sunday October 20 with a 9am start.. 

There will be plenty of keen fishing people there to offer advice and prizes available 

for the kids.. age limit is up to 12 yrs old. 

Recently we had a night out to celebrate some birthdays amongst us and it was 

deemed a good night by all. We feel we are getting just a wee bit older as some of 

us are getting the grandchildren joining the section and that has 2 ways of looking 

at it..we ARE getting older or it's safe to say the Fishing Section will continue with 

the younger members coming on board. Roll on October so we can get out and 

challenge our skills once again, and there’s a trip to Otematata to plan for in 

November. 

QUOITS SECTION: 

Quoits has started again for the season. We had the Open day for the Richmond 

Quoits section at Woolston on Saturday 24th August. We couldn't 

have asked for a better day weather wise to play. Everyone played great and 

enjoyed the day. There were 3 ringers on the day. Richmond will be playing 

at Woolston again this season and until their pitches are in place again at 

the Richmond Club. We are very happy to have them with us again. The 

pairs were drawn out of the hat and the winners on the day were Dave Cox 

and Peter Forde, congrats to them. 

Our Open day is on Saturday 7th September and if we get the same weather 

it will be great. Anyone can come along and see what we do and new players 

are always welcome. Unfortunately the Ashburton club will no longer be 

playing as their numbers have gone into decline. It is hard to get new players 

but we will keep going as long as we can with the 16 players we have just 

now. It's always an enjoyable day with lots of laughs and a few drinks of 

course. We are very sociable. 

We will be playing outside behind the Sports Hall on nearly every Saturday 

until early May next year.
