Welcome back! Its finally here, the start of a new year for everyone. I hope that you enjoyed your holiday and will be back into the swing of things for 2009.
I would like to invite you to join with us on Monday 9th February as we kick the year off with a Tournament night at the church. This will run from the normal times, from 7pm to 9pm. Just a reminder with the new building to please park your car and come and collect your son from the foyer.
This year we have many things planned that will hopefully give the boys experiences they wouldn’t otherwise get. We are pushing for more outdoor activities, over night camps in the weekends and various bigger camps such as Queens Birthday and Labour Weekend. We see the return of the Snow Weekend, with the possibility of it being a whole week – depending on how much the boys want to raise!
We also see the return of a Junior Tramp into the Orongorongo’s, which will be on the weekend of 7-8 March. This is a great event for newcomers to the Company Section and allows you to get to meet the leaders.
Many of you will have noticed the difference in the website. I’ve been busy over the holidays and hopefully have come up with something that is both appealing to the guys, but also functional for the parents. I will keep this site running and up to date as much as possible. If you need to know anything, the website can be your first port of call if you need! www.10thwellington.bb.org.nz
Money. Always a difficult subject to raise. Subs for this year are staying at $70.00. We would like this to be paid before Week 2 of Term 2, which is Monday 4th May, 2009.
This year we see the return of Gary Kenny who is returning in a leadership capacity. However, at the end of 2008, it was a sad moment to say goodbye to Tim Clark who has been an awesome leader in this Company for many years.
And with that, 2009 comes knocking on our door. We look forward to seeing you all back and ready for what will be an exciting year.
Many Thanks,
Al Ingham
