President's Report
Hello team,
It is the end of another great season for members and our club. Our July Hunting Competition was a huge success. It was great to see so many families at the Club, even with average weather conditions. There was an awesome effort put in by people and some really nice animals weighed in. A huge thank you to our sponsors.
We had an amazing array of prizes and many positive comments regarding them. So please, if you go into any of our sponsors businesses, please thank them and show our appreciation. Our list of sponsors includes Waikato Stud, Merchant of Matamata, Stef the Maori Rubs, Superior Pet Food Co, Just Fencing, AC Petfoods, Dunstan Feed, Takapu Charters, Candy Gillespie, Paul Jones Contracting, Jimmy Neal Electrical, Matamata Hunting & Fishing, Thomson Fencing, Top Cru, PGG Wrightson, Redoubt Matamata, Mower & Chainsaw Specialists Ltd, Shooter Ready, Riverhaven Farm Rod & Reel Repairs, Northwood Farm, Farmlands Matamata, Matamata Roofing Services Ltd, Stihl Shop Matamata, Greg and Eileen Ward
A big thank you to our Hunting Committee for their work organising this Competition. There was a lot of work that went on behind the scenes to run a competition like this. On that note, our fabulous Secretary, Wendy Oliver, worked tirelessly, and her efforts are greatly appreciated.
We have two important dates coming up. The first is Prizegiving on Saturday 9th August. See details on Page 3 for this. Those of you with trophies, please get these to either Hornsey or myself for their engraving ASAP.
Our other big event is our AGM on Wednesday, 13th August at 6pm. It is vitally important that we have a good turnout of members. We need to pass our new Constitution to stay within the rules of the Incorporated Societies Act. Please find our Constitution attached at the end of the Newsletter. Please read it and let someone know if there is anything you feel needs changing or amending. Anybody with suggestions to keep our Club going forward or with any new ideas, please turn up and have your say, or if you wish to become part of our Committee, you are all most welcome.
A big thank you to our Committee for all your work throughout the season.
We look forward to the season ahead.
Kind regards
Phil
