Last month I sent out a survey and the response that we received has been overwhelming and positive. This has probably been one of the most successful surveys that I have ever done and from your feedback I now have a much better vision for the future of our club. My thanks go out to all of you who participated. EXCISE TAX INCREASE As from 1 st July 2014 there has been an increase in Excise Tax which unfortunately means that we will need to increase our prices effective from that date. The bad news is: Glasses of beer and wine will increase by 10 cents. Schooners or Handles will increase by 20 cents Small jugs will increase by 30 cents Large Jugs will increase by 50 cents Pint bottles will increase by 20 cents Quart bottles will increase by 50 cents Glass of House wine will increase by 10 cents Small carafes of house wine will increase by 20 cents Large carafes of house wine will increase by 50 cents Meal prices should in fact be increased as this if the norm but before we do that I thought it wise to look at other options. When these have been exhausted and there is absolutely no other way, then only will we have to increase. I will keep you informed. Best regards Chris OPEN DAY—Saturday 2nd August We are having an Open Day at the clubrooms from 5pm. Join on the night for $40.00 for membership to 31st December 2014.

WOMEN’S SECTION REPORT
Hello Ladies—firstly I must apologise for not doing a report for the June Newsletter, no excuses except I forgot. In May we had our Birthday lunch which was very well attended and it was won-derful to see so many visitors from other RSA’s, it was a bit unfor-tunate the entertainment was a let down but I will try harder next year. June Ladies Day saw 74 members attend which was great
and I am very sorry our advertised speaker was unable to attend as he had an emergency, but fortunately Jocelyn Stubbing was able to step in for us at the last minute and what a great job she did
THANK YOU SO MUCH JOCELYN.
Our entertainment for July is singer Amanda Collins and perhaps
her friend as well.
Those of us from the Women’s section who went on the bus trip to the Ruakaka races had a great day, so keep your eye on the no-
tice board early next time as I will arrange another one hopefully
before daylight saving finishes.

INDOOR BOWLS REPORT Well we have reached the middle of the year and the Indoor Bowls happy family are still enjoying the Tuesday and Thursday afternoons of friendly competitive games. Both playing days are seeing up to six mats being used as new
players are arriving almost each week.
A number of players are enjoying there well earned overseas
holidays and I would like to thank those players who have stepped in to help with running of club days, allowing every-
thing to run very smoothly.
Thursday the 19th of June was a special day, as the Indoor bowls club held its mid winter Luncheon, with good food, good entertainment and a good time being enjoyed by all who
attended.
Although there was some trepidation as our Restaurant chef
resigned the week before the mid winter luncheon, our stand in chef did an amazing job and everyone acknowledged the wonderful display and variety of the food. Ron Megerney
8 BALL REPORT
Two trophy tournaments were played this month, Women's Singles played on the 7th and won by Sue Noakes, and Men's
Singles played on the 14th and won by Keith Bate.
As we approach the halfway mark for 2014 we have had quite a number of new players joining our section. In the last week mem-ber no.70 joined. In my opinion this is an all time record for the 8
Ball section.
On the 21st we had a record number of players turn up (43!) for a club day. As we can only cope with 40 players max, 3 players
missed out. An extra pool table is urgently needed!?!

Golf Section News Update (Rub of the Green)
Firstly congratulations to John Marston for playing an excel-lent round at Howick Golf Club and collecting the Jacket once again. Howick Golf Club with its magnificent views proved a
test for many members, but an excellent day of beautiful sun-shine, great company and great bar saw everyone well satis-fied. Being the day the clocks changed it was interesting to note that one keen member turned his clock the wrong way and showed up at 5.00am for a 7.15am departure, a good keen
player!
Pukekohe Golf Club was our next tour date in early May, well, we discovered why we have committees, an eagle eyed
treasurer, spotted that the Pres had managed to book Pakaranga as well as Pukekohe and proceeded to mix both set of arrangements. However enough said and once again a challenging round was had by all. This time it was a new winner of the jacket, congratulations go to Troy Sealy who proved an excellent recipient who managed to set the trend by getting the Jacket dry cleaned. A big thanks to Tiny, out lat-
est Coach Driver, and to the Bayes coach we travelled in.
June’s tournament was at Whangaparaoa Golf Club, that course is in the best condition for many months, a tight battle ensued with Paul Askew looking comfortable until a 10 on the 18th saw him crumble to second behind Alan Harris taking the Jacket. Some players did find the conditions challenging with Alan Holsted setting a possible new course record for most Golf! If you have an hour to discuss with Alan the finer points of his game and how Geoff Horne came into play, a
most interesting yarn.
Our AGM is at 4.00pm on the 6th of July at the RSA full details on the golf section notice board. Do not forget subs are also due, while John Marston is overseas Owen Smith will
take your subs.
Final note a sad farewell to a good friend and associate of many of the golf section Ian (Catflap) Bromley who departed from us on Sunday 22nd June 2014, our thoughts go to his
Wife and Family.
