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

Condolences

condolences-next-six-months-club-in-local-paper57a80a53a62baThe Cellar Club would like to express its deepest sympathies to Gillian Bohm. Gillian’s son Nick died suddenly early in July. We are thinking of you Gillian.

Next six months

The programme is well in hand for the next six months, and some real treats are in store for members. After the success of the quiz night we had in June 2013 the committee have decided we will have another quiz night next February. Sharpen up your quizzing skills for that one.

Club in local paper

And just in case you missed it we had a good article in the local “Independent Herald” during the week. Read the article.

Condolences, Dinner, Elderton Wines

Condolences

The Cellar Club would like to express its deepest sympathies to Dennis Mann and his family on the passing of his wife Junette last weekend. I understand several of Dennis’ close club friends will be around to support Dennis, and we look forward to welcoming him back to tastings when he feels up to it.

Dinner

condolences-dinner-elderton-wines577e19462ed7cGreat response for the dinner this month, clearly a good choice. I am sure we will all enjoy the event.

Elderton

Please note the programme change for August. While we might be disappointed to miss Peter Lehmann at this time, I have it on good authority that Elderton produce some really fine wines and will be a very suitable replacement, after all it is the Barossa. (Having said that one of the very few wines I was unable to drink was produced in the Barossa Valley, but that’s another story)

Cheers
