Annual Charity Golf Day update

Following our successful Annual Charity Golf Day last October, we made a donation of $3,000 to our chosen charity; the Hamilton Visual Resource Centre for the Blind, and Low Vision Education Network New Zealand (BLENNZ), formerly the Blind Foundation. They were extremely grateful and plan to invest in much-needed new equipment for the juniors they support.

Bowls, Beers, and a BBQ

On 27 November, we held our second Bowls, Beers & BBQ event at the Claudelands Bowling Club. This event is sponsored by our Platinum Partners; Avant Aluminium Limited, Franklins Plumbers and Builders Supplies Limited, and Noel Leeming.

There were lots of spot prizes for everyone and the trophy was taken out by Wiggins Building Solutions, who beat Hayward High Roller Bowlers in the final. It was a nice light-hearted way to finish the week and we were pleased it could finally go ahead after being postponed due to lockdown in March.

A big thanks to Steve Kinsey from PlaceMakers – Clarence Street who cooked some beautiful sausages and steaks, and Scott Houghton from the NZCB Waikato Committee who made sure the beer bins were kept topped up.
