April 2025 – Managers Report
Tuesday 1 Apr, 2025
Hi Members.
What a great month of sport March was! From football, to F1 and the Crusaders. It’s been a busy and exciting time for Kiwi Teams on the world stage. What will the month of April bring? Here’s hoping Liam Lawson has a better run in Racing Bulls and that the Crusaders continue their winning streak. We also can’t forget that the All Whites have made the FIFA World Cup – an incredible result!
Thanks for a great night at the Tiki Evening. What fun you all had! Thanks to the organisers and the fab band. Everyone enjoyed themselves!
I just wanted to touch on some news regarding the buffet. We have listened to your feedback and have altered our standard members pricing. The buffet price of $40 now includes a 12 oz beverage or glass of house wine. Senior members are $30. You can book your buffet online through our website or ring reception.
