What a night we had last week. During the Club business segment of the evening two of our Portfolio Directors outlined their plans for the coming year. Darrel Brewin spoke about Community Service and Jenny Oscar about Youth Service. It looks like we are in for an interesting year in those two areas. Their colleagues will be reporting next week. After dinner our resident quiz master conducted a general knowledge trivia competition. The room was abuzz with busy grey matter working overtime trying to determine the answers to some tricky questions. In the end the "Curry Muncher" team (pictured at left) were triumphant with the highest score. For their efforts they were rewarded with a bag of chocolate bars. There go the kilojoules, I guess. No need to despair for the other competitors as they also got some chocolate. Let us see what unfolds next week.
Monday 11th August we will be holding Fireside Chats in place of our regular meeting. You will have received your invitation via a Clubrunner email on Thursday 17th July.
To enable organising of hosts and guests is important that you register as soon as possible via the Accept or Decline box in that email.
Registrations will close on Sunday 27th July
Please remember that this is a “Partners Night” so you will need to register you and your partner at the bottom of this email.
Your host for the evening will make their own arrangement for dinner which may involve the guests to assist with providing the meal or they may fully cater for you.
