John’s address was a very interesting and well organised reflection of his life, covering his early days, business experience and as a Rotarian.
John and his parents moved to Lower Hutt when he was three and his schooling was at Hutt Central and Hutt Valley High School. Sport played a big part in his life whilst at High School and he enjoyed playing in Cricket, Soccer and Tennis teams and also learning something of the art of Judo.
It was whilst at High School that he worked his way through the Duke of Edinburgh system, finally achieving his Gold Award, the last part of which entailed a 5 day tramp through the Tararuas, in very inclement weather. John attributed his love of tramping and his success in the Duke of Edinburgh system to (HVHS teacher at the time) David Gledhill.
Like myself, I would think you are all thankful for our great speaker on Monday night. Our very own John Cole spoke about his ‘life and times’. It made for a very interesting session and one I am sure will be covered adequately in Jaye’s summary as his host.
We were reminded about the Quiz night coming up later this month from June, and how important it is to get our numbers in for table settings for the night. Don’t panic if you are only one person and not part of a team per se, as sometimes the most fun had, is with being on a table with people you don’t necessarily know well.
A reminder that it's your responsibility to find a replacement if you are unable to fulfil your duty. Please let Mike Fackney know of any changes to the roster.
