    Background

    “The best laid schemes o’ mice and men gang aft agley” – Robert Burns

    Indeed, as Robbie was well aware, the best laid plans often go astray and they have gone astray again for us this month. Unfortunately, because of changes at Auburn, they are unable to attend. Other options have been pursued but we have been unable to get a suitable replacement. 

    This does however give us an opportunity to use the Club’s cellar for the purpose it was designed. This Wednesday we will sample some of our cellar stock including: 

    • 2012 Waimea Sauvignon Blanc 
    • Haythornthwaite Rose
    • 2010 Esk Valley Chenin Blanc
    • 2010 Esk Valley Verdelho
    • 2010 Shot in the Dark Cab Sav/Shiraz
    • 2006 Rufus Stone Heathcote Shiraz 
    • 2012 Alpha Domus Barnstormer Syrah 

See all past club events from February 1985.

 

Let’s Look Out for Each Other (still)

As always, please do not attend the evening’s presentation if you are feeling unwell. Thanks, Your committee.

Member prize draw

The members’ prize draw takes place at each meeting, but you must be present to win. We also have a raffle draw to be won. Purchase your tickets at the door and be in to win.

Drinking and driving

Members will be aware of the lowering of drink/drive limits from December 2014. If you are unsure, refer to the Land Transport Act 1998. We ask members to be conscious of these limits. For those driving, water and some food are provided. Alternatively, consider designating a driver, using a taxi, Uber, or dial-a-driver to ensure a safe ride home.

Wine bottle screw caps

The club is collecting wine bottle screw caps to donate to the Lions in support of Kidney Kids NZ. No food lids or beer tops, please. Save and bring them to the next monthly meeting.
