Ōmokoroa Probus Club AGM

More than thirty members attended the Annual General Meeting in March, held in the Settlers’ Hall, with Jean Leadley presiding and Rob Wakelin as secretary. The meeting concluded with the elections of officers. Wavyne Phillips was nominated and accepted as the new incoming president. As Wavyne was on sick leave, she will be presented with the chain of office at her next meeting. Rob Wakelin remains as secretary, and Pam Pethybridge will be treasurer. Two members were also newly elected to the committee.

Morning tea was served after the business portion of the meeting before club member Colin Pettigrew tried to entertain us with a film. Unfortunately, technical difficulties with the projector and computer led Colin to give us an extremely entertaining impromptu speech on his life as a teacher in mainly country primary schools. Rob Wakelin thanked Colin for sharing with us.

The meeting closed with the ‘thought of the day’ given by Helen Sim. The Boat Club was the scene for lunch and further socialising.

Probus is about fun, friends and fellowship. Join us on the fourth Thursday each month at Ōmokoroa Settlers’ Hall to see what the club has to offer.
