Chairman s Report
Good to see nominations coming forward for your committee for the coming year, a new face or two, really good.
You will have noticed or heard of the removal of the Sheoaks on Patchett’s Green - twelve in all. The balance behind the parts shed will be next year if funds are forthcoming. I think the big Seedless Deodara in the corner should also go, in light of the standard/condition which the Sheoaks were in. I have a contact in the MDC to see if they can help with the cost of removing the above and they have agreed to support with part of the cost, but would also like to have a say in what we plant as replacements.
In light of our recent adventure into the top of the Waihopai Valley property owned by the Evans family I have made a suggestion to our committee that the branch look seriously at purchasing a Tracking Beacon to go with our first aid kit and defibrillator the cost is about $400.
There is a pressing problem coming up and if we don’t deal with it shortly it maybe to late and that is the side chair on the motorbike in the museum. Unfortunately the borer have attacked it big time and it may have to be replaced if it can’t be arrested. That may cost, but we have no option. We are in charge with looking after our motoring heritage and we may have to go looking for funds for this project.
For those of you who have struck a rough patch in your journey and not feeling a hundred percent, on behalf of all members we wish you all the best.
As this is my last chairman’s report for this current term I wish to thank you all for the support you have given both Janice and myself over the last year and look forward to another good year for this branch and it’s members.
Thank you all once again.
Regards to you all
