PLEASE NOTE.  The starting times for the Club Champs on Saturday the 10th are as follows:
Junior B 12 noon, Junior A 12.10, Intermediate 12.20, Open 12.30 and Plate 12.40.

At the meeting of the Centennial Committee on Thursday there were only five places left for the Dinner. If you haven’t registered then you had better be quick. The cut off had to be made at 120 as any larger number would have resulted in overcrowding, to the detriment of the occasion.
 
In this weeks Wairarapa Midweek Newspaper there will be an 8 page section to celebrate the Centennial. Make sure you get your copy.

Those members who have ordered club jerseys and centennial club shirts these are available from the office now.
