AUGUST 2024


Hello members

It has been a busy month for the committee.   At our AGM we thanked Charlotte Bryden who is stepping down from her roles as Treasurer, Membership and Junior Administrator after 16 years. Charlotte has been an integral part with Te Kura Old Boys and then after the merger in 2017 with Hagley Park. We sincerely thank Charlotte for her stewardship of the club’s finances and her enthusiastic involvement not only in the key roles above, but in many aspects of the overall function of the club.  Also thanks to Sarah Schneideman, who also is stepping down from the Committee. Both are fonts of knowledge and will be sorely missed.

We formally elected Trevor Lau to role of President, and Mark Stringer to Vice President.

We welcomed our new Membership Officer and Treasurer, Larissa Allan to those positions.   August/September will be a busy month for Larissa, as this is the month that membership rolls over.    Juniors and Interclub should have received sign up forms, all other Senior members will receive invoices soon.

Detailed below, you will find two new opportunities - both are wonderful ways to contribute and make a lasting impact on our club's future. Don't miss out!
