Last Meeting
Mike Fackney - Guest Speaker 
Mike Fackney:  Much Travelled Man
Mike had wanted to go to Malawi but a planned eight day tour had been cancelled because of Covid, and so, after two days in Kampala he eventually joined a tour party that went through Rwanda, Zambia, Tanzania, Columbia and Uganda.  With excellent photographs Mike took us on the tour.

Hutt Riverbank Clean Up
Last weekend a group from our club took part in our annual Hutt City river bank cleanup.  Despite the strong wind challenges and the Hutt Valley annual marathon adding some interest we managed to clear between the Melling bridge and the Ava railway bridge.
The rubbish collected included everything from small pieces of paper to a partially buried suitcase.   We finished with a very social morning tea which included sausage rolls, small meat pies, buttered loaf, muffins and cake.  It was another successful river bank cleanup and thanks go to all who were able to come and help.
 
Function at Te Omanga Hospice
Last evening President John attended a function at the Te Omanga Hospice to thank all those people and organisations for their generosity over the last couple of years in giving donations and their time to the Hospice.   There was a great turn out and a good networking opportunity for everyone in attendance. 
Parting Thought 
 
Richard Perry provided the parting thought at the end of the last meeting - 
"Lets try hard to be a caterpillar 
- Eat a lot
- Go to sleep for a while 
- And wake up beautiful"
