Weekly Update 12 November 2009
Only 43 sleeps until the big fella arrives laden with lots of goodies for those that have been good in 2009. Scary thought but hasn’t the year raced by with so much happening the completion of the redevelopment, official opening and so much more having taken place through out the year.
The last six weeks or so have seen some excellent events hosted at the club with a few more tricks up our sleeve for the rest of 2009. We started off with Bathurst Day which included a display of cars, Nelson Remote Car Club demonstration, Pit girls and a pig on a spit plus many people getting dressed in their favourite colours.
Other successful events in terms of enjoyment have been the RAGS outdoor bowling tournament and this is to be repeated in early 2010. We have had two very good entertainers from across the ditch in one of New Zealand’s finest country Acts Kevin Greaves and NZ Idol, Luke Whaanga who returns for the New Years Eve’s party.
Melbourne Cup Day saw the special appearance of Fred Dagg (John Hewison), the afternoon was supported by a small crowd who participated in the sweeps and raffles and generally had a good time, lets hope we have a TAB terminal for next year.
A fun night was had last Friday with our Race Night and Blind Auction; with many people wanting to know when the next night of racing is going to be held, there was even a suggestion of another one this week but as I am away I think that will have to wait until December as a special Christmas event. If you do not know what the Race night is all about ask those that were here last week. Ask Brian Biggs who got a club lighter for 9 million!!!
Promotions that the club has run and are currently running are a Ladies promotion from now until 13 December when one of our ladies will win a $500 shopping spree, conditions do apply see details in store. We have a Steinlager Edge promotion to win a weekend for 4 at Millbrook(this is a national prize) and locally a nice Hoodie and sports voucher are up for grabs.
We will also be having a weekly ham draw with Mac’s Gold starting shortly.
The recent DB promotion was won by none other than Rod Penn yet again, well done Rod for your loyal support.
