President Murray:

on 9 November acknowledged and thanked Jo Drillien for putting together the speaker gifts that are given out each week!
last Monday night commented that members who didn't like being fined only had themselves to blame for voting for the position of sergeant to be re-established. The corollary of this must be that if you did not vote for the sergeant position to be re-instated you don't have to pay fines. Yay!

Niel Ewart is once again co-orditnating the Christmas Collection for Auckland City Mission.

12 December at Clonbern Road.

Niel will be in touch with members.

Let’s cruise New Zealand in our own bubble!

Ponant has a 10 day private charter cruise from Dunedin to Auckland departing on 30^th January 2021. They are bringing down ‘Le La Perouse’, the ship with the Blue Eye Lounge.

2020 has been a tough year with so many of us suffering lockdown restrictions. If you have not been able to cruise this year think about this luxury yacht cruise around New Zealand that combines the highest standard of understated French and Scandinavian influenced décor and service. I was on board this yacht earlier this year and can highly recommend it.

I am able to book cabins directly and as at midday Tuesday there were several ‘Prestige’ staterooms still available on Decks 4, 5 and 6.

Call Cindy on 0210247005 or email me at cindy@privatetravel.co.nz

If the Ponant is not able to fulfil the charter due to government Covid-19 restrictions a full refund less a small admin fee of $150.00 per person will apply.

T & C’s apply.

Kind Regards

Cindy
