Club Waimea News Update
18 October 2009
As we count down to Christmas we have a lot of activities happening at the club leading up to the 25 December 2009.
A good reference point to see what is happening at the club is on our website which I am endeavoring to keep up to date as regularly as possible with the help of our webmaster for those tricky bits I have to make time to master. We also advertise primarily with the Waimea Weekly and have some radio advertising happening on the Radio network stations along with our internal promotions here at the club. Periodically we do have advertising happening in the Nelson Mail and The Leader. Or alternatively give us a call and we can let you know what we know!
October
The club has a busy remaining few weeks in October as the Golf section hosting the South Island Ladies Tournament at Labour weekend. We have weddings and reunions as well as being a nominated venue for competitors of the 2009 RaboPlus Club Road Cycling Championships.
NZ Idol Luke Whaanga returns on Friday 30 October 2009 to entertain, this is a night not to be missed, so get to the club early to secure your seat in the main lounge bar area.
November
This month kicks off with our RAGS outdoor bowling tournament on Sunday 1 November 2009 , this is a pre-entry event with nominal cost of $5.00.
Melbourne Cup Day is Tuesday 3rd November come along in your best gear and enter our fashion parade. We will have the Courtesy Coach operating from 2pm, with the bistro open from 5.30pm.
A night at the Races, 7pm Friday 6 November is a fun event for all members to participate in whether it is a horse/jockey or a punter. As this is the first time this type of an event has been run here I will shorten it to a 4 race meeting so will need 18 -24 volunteers to make up the starting line up plus a couple of reserves. Entry to the event is by way of a gold coin which will secure you $5000 of race money that you will be able to use in the blind auction at the end of the race night.
Please let the bar or office staff know if you are keen to participate by 1 November so that we can print our race books with the latest form guide.
