Although not a huge crowd it was great to see a good turnout for our off-site meeting last week and there were even more attendees than at the previous meeting, so well done to all for organizing and for turning up! Co-President Penny welcomed us and invited Directors to provide updates if any. Tom once again reminded all that the deadline for nominating RYLA Candidates this year was rapidly approaching. To date only one completed application has been received and the deadline for submitting nominations is the end of April, All members are asked to think of any potential candidates and contact Tom asap. Members were reminded that May 9th, is the date for our Annual Debate with Auckland East, this year to be hosted by Auckland East at their dinner meeting. In what must have been near a record, the St. Johns team was elected on the spot without any pressure, bribery or corruption and congratulations to Lynette, Angus and Dave for volunteering to take on the enormous challenge of winning the trophy in an away from home environment. We look forward to having a good turnout to support our team. |
