Monthly Meeting Timing
We have had a number of enquiries from club members over time regarding the time we start the monthly evenings. Due to the presenters who come to our monthly meetings working in the city during the day before they get to us, we have to allow them time to refresh and have dinner. Also, the committee members that set up for the evening may also work, and must have their dinner and refresh before getting to the hall for the set-up. These people’s full lives do not give any lee-way for the meetings to be able to start earlier.
New Members/Visitors
Please, if you see visitors on their own or new members enter the centre for one of our tastings, invite them to join your table. Getting to know new members and making new friends is part of the purpose of our club, and they may need to be shown where our club’s glasses are and have an explanation of our sheet that is supplied to members for writing down their comments on the wines of the month. Thanks.
January BBQ
Your committee has decided not to hold a BBQ to start off 2024. Derek has sold his home and will shortly be moving slightly north to Summerset on the Landing. Congratulations Derek, we look forward to still seeing you at your club’s monthly tastings.
Your committee is interested in new ways that we might start our year’s events going forward and would welcome your suggestions on how we might do this.
We have already considered holding a spit roast but the cost implications to members wasn’t something we wanted to impose without first canvassing input in a wider forum like the AGM.
Cellar Master
With Derek’s home no longer available, the intention is to move the cellar to Wayne’s home which already has some of the cellar wines. A special thanks to Derek for having performed this task throughout the life of the Club.
