From the desk of the President

I would like to thank everyone who supported my nomination for club President and especially  to thank Rod for his 22 years as President.  

Rod believed in the club and recognised it as  the valuable community asset it is for Otaki  and the wider region. He led the development  of a culture of creativity, friendship, learning,  sharing of ideas and skills which has meant  the club has grown into a vibrant community  in its own right. 

Clubs are strange beasts in that it is the function  of the club that attracts people to it 

- people  from all walks of life and so our club is a place  of people who reflect different cultures, beliefs, ideas and talent ... and it works... and I believe  in most part this is due to the dedication and  energy put in from Rod. Thank you Rod.
 
And a big thank you must also go to Brent. As Vice president for 16 years Brent was a  great support to Rod in steering the club on  the positive and solid road it is now on. Thank  you Brent. 

With the newly formed committee I believe we  will continue well from the foundations formed  by the dynamic duo!  

I look forward to working with you all and please don't hesitate to contact me or any of the  committee if you have ideas you would like considered, any concerns you think need addressing, any help you may need or may be able to offer. 

​- Caitlin. ​
