 There is a challenge ahead.  Next year there will be at least 5 committee members not standing again for their "seats" We thank them for their input over the years and move on to seek replacements.  Many of these members have been on the committee for several years, keeping the machinery of the club moving.  It is easy to overlook the work done by the committee and others until it isn't done - ie. somewhat like electricity in Auckland and Queensland, water in Sydney and gas in Victoria.   There is a challenge ahead.  Next year there will be at least 5 committee members not standing again for their "seats" We thank them for their input over the years and move on to seek replacements.  Many of these members have been on the committee for several years, keeping the machinery of the club moving.  It is easy to overlook the work done by the committee and others until it isn't done - ie. somewhat like electricity in Auckland and Queensland, water in Sydney and gas in Victoria.
