February Newsletter

​Dear Members,
Recently we have had the bar open on Fridays so that we can watch the sailing. Despite putting notices on social media attendance by members has been dis appointing.
This Friday we are not able to open because the hall is in use. However, we plan to open from 4:30pm to 7:30pm on Friday 19 February and Friday 26 February and Friday 5 March 2021. After that, we will review the viability of this part of our operations.
We have had difficulty arranging a suitable date for our visit to the Waiheke RSA. We are trying to make suitable contact.
One of our tenants Mixt (gift shop), is leaving and closing.  On 11, 12, and 13 February they will be holding a closing down sale and members are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up a bargain.
Our new membership cards have arrived and will be distributed at our meeting on Monday 15 February. Those not picked up will be mailed after that. At that meeting we will be calling for volunteers to assist with Poppy Day.  The fact that claims have not yet been paid is because of difficulties with the handover process from our treasurer who resigned.
We look forward to March and the Americas Cup and, also our Annual General Meeting, to be held in Devonia Hall on Sunday 21 March at 2:00pm. The bar will be open after that.

Howard Mace
