Joining the Committee - Reminder
The AGM is coming up in February and the club needs willing members to join the committee as several people will be standing down this time.
There are monthly meetings (and not everybody manages to get to all of these over a year) and more work in the first part of the year which peaks with our show on the first Sunday in May. It's not a huge workload for most of the year and the more people on the committee the less any one person has to do.
If you would be willing to serve on our committee for the 2015/16 year please advise the secretary and, if possible, come along to the AGM.
(New club members are especially welcome to join us on the committee!)
Contact: Colleen White, secretary@pncatclub.co.nz

History Notes
As we build up to the May show I am looking back at the very first show the club held, back in 1953. Most of us on the committee have been involved in organising a number of shows ... but this reminds me that everybody was new to the job at one time!
