A big thank you to all
92 of our members and their guests who attended our annual Bastille Day dinner
at the Tura Beach Country Club. This is the biggest attendance we have had for
many years and probably the biggest ever.
The Tura Beach Country
Club provided a great venue and a wonderful menu which was enjoyed by all. With
Mike Warren as MC and Greg Hunting as quiz master the evening was lively but relaxed
and bottles of French wine found their way to the fortunate few who had an
amazing knowledge of French history and culture. Mareta Collins was in good voice and led us
all in delivering a rousing rendition of La Marseillaise. A special thanks
needs to go to Treasurer Kerry Hunting for her work in organising the event and
to other committee members who assisted.
It’s that time of year
again and we are holding our Annual General Meeting at the Infuse Restaurant in
the Tura Shopping Centre on Monday, 4 September. I urge you all to come along
if you can. As Mike pointed out on
Bastille Night, we are looking for new committee members. We would like to have a person interested in
looking after our modest library and acting as our historian. We would also
like additional ladies on the Committee as Kerry is on her own at the moment.
Further input on behalf of the feminine members of Alliance would be most
welcome. Please think about what you can
bring to the Club ladies. Committee meetings are held monthly and last only about
an hour so please think about putting your hand up. However, even if you don’t
feel you are able to join the committee we would like you to come along and
enjoy a meal with us at Infuse.
Amities
