Captains Log 23/9/24

Monday nights meeting was another good night. There was a few less members than previous weeks and we are mindful that our caterer does like to prepare meals for at least 25 members. Sergeant Stu managed a few fines and then threw a wide loop with a fine for All Black supporters it was good to see that we still have a good few of them in the club.  Our speaker was club member Steve Dunn who has a role as a tutor for Senior Net. This is a local charitable organization with the objective of helping seniors in the community learn to use modern devices. This is clearly a role close to his heart and he would seem to have the right amount of patience and skill to be the right man for the job. This is the week we have all been counting down to book sale week. The collecting has all been done, the sorting team have processed almost 1000 boxes of books. This is well over double what we used to do in our early years and is no mean feat. A big thank you to all who club members who have helped to get us this far. Just to keep us all on our toes we have a salmon run this week as well. Monday night will be a club night and a debrief of the book sale. Mike has also put out the call for club member support to help the Otago Youth Adventure Trust with a working bee down at Berwick on the 12^th and 13^th of October. One of the main jobs will be to try to paint the wardens house so paint brushers and sanders and scrappers would be a good item to bring along and any carpenters there are a couple of repairs to be done to platforms on the confidence course.
