Hi Everyone

Rob Finlayson General Manager Nelson Suburban ClubIf you haven’t thought of coming down to the Club lately then come in for a meal - Check out the Club Cafe meal of the week. This week the catering team have added Scallops to the menu. Pan seared in a Mornay sauce with hand cut chunky fries or have your Scallops crumbed if you prefer. I’m sure they will sell out fast so get in quick!  Perhaps you are just looking for a filler for morning tea or after your meal? Try our Coffee and cake combo for just $7.90. Don’t forget to have your club card swiped to earn your loyalty points.  

Sick of the long winter evenings stuck in the house? How about putting a team together on a Tuesday evening and coming along for the Club’s Quiz night; just $2pp and the chance to win cash prizes and bar tabs make it a great night out. Perhaps you can’t make it out on a Tuesday evening?  How about Wednesday evening? Try your luck on the Housie cards each Monday from 1pm and Wednesday’s from 7pm.  Everybody’s welcome so bring a guest, friend or even a neighbour!!!

We have an awesome Rock & Roll band playing on Friday evening. Rocket 88 starts at 7.30pm in the main bar. Come along for a great night out and support the club. 

Update on Special meeting - Sunday 5th October Sports Hall

As advised the meeting will be held on Sunday October 5th at 10am in the Sports Hall.  In my last update I mentioned that some information will be sent out to members prior to this meeting. We still plan to do this however we hit a snag and have had to hold back the mail out until our legal adviser has approved its content.  This will be a two stage letter and it is still very much our intention that you will receive the first stage of the letter prior to the meeting; however the second part of the document cannot be sent out until after the meeting.   I apologise for the delay.

AGM - The clubs 44th AGM is to be held at 10am on Sunday November 23rd 2014.

Executive Nominations for 2014-2015.  

Again, just a reminder that the time is getting nearer for the election of officers for the coming year. Are you interested in making a difference at your Club? Have you got a lot to contribute and time to give? Do you know a member who would make a fantastic committee member for the Club? Are you prepared to put your money where your mouth is? Now is the time for you to consider nominations for executive for the 2014-15 year. Not an easy role and often an unrecognised one; you will be part of the Club’s recovery and will be full of great ideas. You will assist with improving patronage through your ability to encourage new groups and existing groups to use the facility. You will be nominated to stand because you want to help the Club move forward and have the drive and commitment to help make it happen alongside your peer executives.

If you have an interest in being an executive officer in the Club and have the drive to make a difference, your nomination will be welcomed. As a candidate you will stand alongside our current committee for election. If you have the time and can commit to such a role then now is the time to come forward and express your interest. Nominations for the roles will open on October 24th and close on November 7th 2014. Voting for the candidates will open on November 7th and close on Saturday 22nd November 2014. The AGM is to be held on Sunday November 23rd 2014 at 10am in the Sports Hall.

Enjoy the week.

Regards, Rob
