Cheese Rolls 2024!
Planning is underway to make approx. 500 dozen cheese rolls. We are taking orders until 10 May, production is 17/18 May and pickups are on 18th May.
It's a fun and not too onerous team task to make the products. We will be making the products in three shifts plus pre-prep and clean ups as scheduled below:
Friday 17th May, 2pm-4pm (pre-prep)
Friday 17th May, 4pm-7.30pm (production)
Friday 17th May, 7.30pm-8.30pm (clean up)
Saturday 18th May, 9am-12.30pm (production)
Saturday 18th May, 1pm- 4.30pm (production)
Saturday 18th May, 4.30pm-5.30pm (clean up)
Please volunteer yourself for a shift or whatever time frame that fits your schedule Friends and family joining in to help are of great help. We are looking for 10 volunteers per production shift!
A google form volunteer roster that you can fill in can be downloaded here or contact Fiona Nyhof (0274821103, or email fiona.robin@outlook.com) to add your name.
Fun Fact: If 6000 Cheese Rolls, each 120 mm long, were placed end-to-end they would stretch from Petri Dish to the Octagon!
Worth waiting for ...

Photo L to R Dennis, Josh and Greg Angell
It was 2 years ,10 Months and 30 days ago that Greg Angell generously purchased a fishing trip in the Youth Committee's charity auction supporting, at the time the charities of The Cancer Society and Chat Bus.
Due to weather, Covid, Taieri Mouth bar closures, work commitments and other stuff- the date was finally set for Easter Sunday just past.
Brian Daniels said the boys fished well bringing home 17 Blue Cod ,2 Groper and a Tarakihi .

Rotary Dunedin Friendship/Fellowship event
May 30th
This will be an intercommittee event to give us the opportunity for fellowship above and beyond lunch meetings. It's a chance to catch up, chat, share news and discuss Rotary (or not), while enjoying some fun activities (watch this space, the inter-committee club challenge trophy may come out!).
It will be held in the early evening (5-7.30pm approx) so we can share a little bit of kai. Friends and family welcome. We are hoping someone in the club could home host this 'fireside forum' (fire not essential)- But we can also opt for a venue - more info to follow. Contact Anna Thomas to volunteer to host, help or just ask for more information (027 551 1975,
