Brian at Yangtze Restaurant – July Dinner 2008

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Brian Harris. He had been a member of the club for 24 years and served on our committee as both Treasurer and Secretary. In earlier times, Brian’s experience and contacts in the hospitality business engendered some memorable club dinners.

Notice: Harris, Brian

Of Johnsonville. Unexpectedly at Wellington Hospital on 29 June 2021. Mourned by his partner Cecilia; daughter Jackie and Margaret, Mark (dec), Helen, Jo and Allan; grandsons Brett, Shane, David, Bradley and Carl.
Forever is never long enough to be with those we love.

Events & condolences

Events

There is little more that I can add.  Other Events and tastings are being pursued but it is clear that the future depends on events somewhat beyond our control.  Let’s hope it doesn’t last too much longer and we can get together to enjoy some good company and wines.

Condolences

Rick and Fay Julian were members of our club for many years until they shifted to Hawkes Bay. Many of our members will be upset to learn that they have been involved in a vehicle accident where they both suffered mainly bruising injuries that required some hospitalisation.  Unfortunately, Fay’s mother was in the vehicle and has died from injuries sustained.  Our heartfelt condolences and best wishes go to them at this very sad time.

Cheers
