Christmas Party

This is a reminder that the Club Christmas Party will be going ahead on Saturday 16th December. Previous details still apply with an extra emphasis that all food that you bring must be finger food. If to be served hot please preheat the food at home. It can be kept warm at the Club until required. Christmas sweaters to be worn please but not compulsory. Any further questions please contact Mick by email.

Cheers

Details on the Secret Santa gift exchange: 

If you wish to participate in the gift exchange please bring a wrapped gift and place it on the gift table along with your name tag from the draw room. If you are a social member and don’t have a tag one will be made up for you at the gift table.  At some point during the day a name from the gift bag will be called and that person will pick a gift from under the tree and unwrap it. After the first gift has been unwrapped the next person can take either an unwrapped gift or choose a gift from under the tree. If your unwrapped gift is taken from you you will get to choose another one from under the tree and unwrap it. Unwrapped gifts cannot be hidden away.  A huge penalty may be inflicted, such as if we sing 12 days of Christmas you will get to perform solo 5 golden rings. Gifts can be appropriate for any sex.

Information for the Membership

As you are all now probably aware that Vicki has retired from her duties of Social Director. The first problem was that no one came forward to take over the job. The second was that due to this the kitchen would be closed completely.

After the AGM several of us had a discussion and decided, if the Board agreed, that I would take over the duties as Social Director with some conditions. This was that a new committee would be set up and initially the winter usage of the kitchen would continue and for the summer season only tea, coffee and goodies would be provided at all Club and Open Competitions, all lunches would be Brown Bag.

However, when the committee gets together, we are hoping to be able to organize and host at least a Christmas Party. This will only happen with the full involvement of the membership under the guidance of the Social Committee.

All other events needing refreshments other than tea, coffee and goodies, such as Canada Day, BC Day etc. will be organized and run by a separate volunteer committee. With initial assistance and guidance of the Social Committee.

Basically, the object is to keep the kitchen open and functional without the need for time and energy consuming full sit-down meals.

Finally, I must emphasize that this can only continue with the full cooperation and assistance from the membership.

Regards,

Mick Banks
