FROM PRESIDENT IAN

 
Great turnout at the bowling club on Thursday, thanks to Don and the team who hosted and organised the event. President Elect John remined every one of our first meeting back at CHS next Thursday, this a chance to catch up on the year ahead and plans for 2022.
 
With 6 months into my Presidency, we have much to achieve and catch up on. Let hope the omicron virus has less effect this year that last, and we remain ‘at least’ orange traffic light level.
 
District 9930 Conference this year will be held 20th – 22nd May in Napier, in the recently refurbished and plush Napier Conferences and Events Centre. Set on the stunning waterfront of Napier ‘s Marine Parade you can be assured of an experience to remember.
Covering the Conference theme of “Health & Well-Being” selected speakers will provide personal stories about their own health, introduce creative ideas for you own well-being as well as hearing from speakers on Rotary related themes.
 
The Conference starts on the Friday with options of golf, cycling, wine tours, as well as a view of the Art Deco history of Napier city. Please join me and make Napier your destination in May 2022 and enjoy the atmosphere of Napier and the wider Hawkes Bay.
 
Finally, a reminder of my revised email address having sold my business. 
Please all future correspondence to higrant203@xtra.co.nz or my home address as listed on Club Runner. My mobile number remains the same.
Have a great week and see you on Thursday.
President Ian

Notes – 20 January 2022
The V.C.C.* were out in force but did not deter about 50 members and guests from enjoying a very pleasant evening of bowls and fellowship.
Having rung the bell, John Bishop welcomed everyone, especially Sarah who may be re-joining us, and asked Don Watson to explain the game of bowls.
This Don did and then took a further twenty seconds to name the experts who were on hand. John then elaborated that the small rings on the bowls went this way but the larger rings went that way. With this essential information, the bowling got going.
Five rinks each had keenly contested (but friendly) matches only slightly marred by some of the bowls being coloured yellowish-green while others displayed greenish-yellow.
Scoring was also, on occasion, a matter of some discussion. Bowlers and spectators returned to the clubhouse for an excellent steak dinner followed by fruit cocktail and ICE CREAM!
John again rang the bell to introduce President Ian Grant who said he was very pleased to see such a grand assembly.
Our President mentioned that he was half-way through his presidency (sounded like ‘pregnancy’ – a hearing aid/Scottish accent problem!) and thanked everyone for turning out and the organisers, staff and caterers for their contributions.
President Ian reminded us that it was time to start thinking about the District Conference.
To conclude the meeting, John Bishop gave the dates of future functions, which information is also available in the Bulletin.
