Members are encouraged to attend Thursday lunch meetings whenever they can. They are an opportunity for fellowship, to hear interesting speakers, and to catch up with our Club activities.

 

 

 

Heads up - our first 2024 meeting will be a social gathering on Jan 16th at the Dunedin Petanque Club. We'll learn how to play and follow our game with a BBQ.

 

Our regular Thursday lunch meetings recommence on Jan 25th.

Two of our members, Gordon Tucker and Rick Wellington grew a mo in November for Movember.

Here's Gordon's story.

 

I’ve done the hard yards over the last month – taking the jibes, abuse and jokes about how much I don’t suit a mo, and endured a lack of kisses from my loved ones. However I must say, it’s really starting to grow on me (haha) – I might just keep it…
 As frustrating, messy (when eating and drinking) and scratchy having a mo is, it’s nothing compared to what many blokes are dealing with in their everyday. 
 I'm raising much-needed funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
 Men die on average 6 years earlier than women. But together we can change that.
 To ensure I remove this slug by tomorrow, please donate via myMo Space, here: https://movember.com/m/14244768?mc=20 – for all the dads, brothers, sons, grandads, uncles and mates in your life.

Food bank Appreciation
Our Christmas 'bring a can' collection this year supported The Salvation Army. They are creating 150 hampers to be given to homeless people over the Xmas period. The Salvation Army Food bank appreciated the items delivered to them last Thursday on behalf of the club,  by Community Project's team director, Brian Daniels.
