And I thought I wouldn’t be doing this anymore!!
Just a very quick note to extend again my thanks to Pat Abercrombie and her team of helpers for another really enjoyable night.
It was lovely to have three of our honorary members there Sue North, Bruce Burton and Bob Jollands, who also won a spot prize, and Govind Pani President of the Pakuranga Rotary Club and his wife Sanhya. We always think NZ is a small place as so often we bump into people that know people we know, well last night proved this internationally as it transpired that Harjit and Govind had mutual connections in India and other parts of the world. Small world indeed.
As usual Jim Duckworth provided an excellent birthday cake and I had the honour of cutting our 62nd Birthday cake with him. Geoff Thompson is indeed a man of many talents and acted as the roving reporter photographer for the evening, and Sally and Glenice worked the technology with a little initial help from Gavin Green who was able to join us last night.
MC Steve Lines did a great job, immaculately dressed in a cream suit with built in ventilation, keeping things moving along with plenty of humour for good measure.
Steve and I were charged with judging the Best Dressed for the evening, a very difficult task but we went for sophisticated elegance and the winners were Fred and Celeste Holland. A very handsome couple.
Thank you everyone for joining in to the spirit of the evening and making our 62nd birthday another special event on our calendar.
Kia tupato, kia noho haumaru
Take care, stay safe.
Madeleine East IPP.
