It is with deep sadness that we wish to report the passing of one of our Life Members , Ron Thomson.
Ron’s participation in the club dates back to our early beginnings when he was the editor of our newsletters until he relinquished that role to take over as our second President in 1986.
Ron became a life member in 2009 and whilst he has not attended tastings since he moved to Waikanae, he and Barbara continued to attend our dinners until more recently when health issues began to intercede.
Our condolences go out to his many friends in the Cellar Club.
