greeted 67 members of our Branch as they arrived at the historic Cheval Rooms, Hastings Racecourse for our annual mid-winter lunch. 

On a beautiful sunny autumn morning,  46 members enthusiastically boarded the coach,  for their annual Mystery trip.  

The Hawke's Bay branch committee extended the invitation to present and previous committee members to attend a special “thank you lunch” for Merv at the Clifton Beach Cafe Hygge (pronounced Hoo-ga).  A cafe looking out to a beach and sparkling sea, on a perfect autumn day.

 A very warm welcome was extended to New Zealand Founders National Secretary Carolyn Adams, when she attended the Hawke’s Bay Branch Annual General meeting recently.  Being St. Patrick’s Day, one member came dressed very appropriately.
