Time to update – I have got through the Annual General Meeting of SeniorNet Motueka, of which I am privileged to be the President. We had a special farewell to three sterling committee members who had made huge contributions to the club’s development of our own clubrooms. Brian Say was President during most of the development work and bore the brunt of responsibility for seeing that the project stayed on track. He really knew how to harness the best on everyone and did enormous amounts of “backroom” negotiating to see it through .
Phil Peters was the inspiration and creative talent. His attention to detail and the desire to achieve a perfect result saw very high standards of finishing work being done. At times things were fraught and tense but we managed to get through all the stages well and we now we have a lovely clubrooms of our own.
So we welcome four new faces to the committee, in the hope that they can bring fresh impetus to our hardworking group. We all do this for the love of it so it should be enjoyable to be a part of it. At times it has not, but that I hope is in the past.
Now we have our Christmas raffle, and I’ve just finished painting up a “sandwich board” for it as we display our raffle in the Supermarket foyers for the next month.
