Welcome to those of you who are new members and welcome back to members renewing their subscriptions. I hope you take advantage of the businesses in the new discount book. Membership renewal has started now for the next membership year which begins 1st April 2023 and goes to 31 March 2024.

If your membership card has a blue label, you can renew this anytime from now on and go into a prize draw if you do so in February or March.

For those that renewed in January the prize draw is something that did happen, with the winners having been notified and their prizes received.

An article is elsewhere in the magazine about this.

Thank you to Waimea Weekly, Heartland Bank, Absolute En- ergy and Grey Power Electricity for donating prizes. By the time you are reading this the February prize draw should be nearly sorted an winners notified.

The February and March prize draw winners will be published in the next magazine in June.

Paying early helps us spread the load as everyone (over 5200 members) have the same expiry date on their membership cards. A reminder that payments of the right money can be left with Mike Pero in Bridge Street – mornings only (Monday- Friday). Subscriptions can no longer be left at the Unichem Richmond Mall pharmacy but McGlashen pharmacy have kindly decided to take these for us.

They are located on Oxford Street in Richmond but can also be accessed from the carpark in between Oxford Street and Queen Street. Renewal forms are held at these places if needed. These are cash only with your membership cards being posted to you once Grey Power have received these in the office, usually at least on a weekly basis. Every year in March & April we go to extra places to receive subscriptions to make it easier for you with more places to renew. We hope this helps some who find it hard to get out and about. Just a reminder that getting a magazine by email is now a choice.

If you want your magazine by email, write it on your renewal form or let the office know by email or phone. We will be getting new carpet tiles sometime soon because of a leak from outside the building and into our back of office. This is an insurance claim and is at no cost to Nelson Grey Power. Enjoy the cooling down of the weather and I will send you all another magazine in June.

Thank you to Waimea Weekly & Grey Power Electricity, Heartland Bank and Absolute Energy for donating prizes.
