Weather Bombs and Open Days

It was a lovely weekend for our open days. Although the weather forecast of a weather bomb may have been the spoiler for Saturday, turning a lot of visitors off coming, those who did still had a lovely time relaxing a our beautiful club grounds.

Despite some areas around the country getting hammered by the storm, we had no rain to speak of on Saturday, and only a few occasional wind gusts. But Sunday was brilliant. 

We had three visitors come along and an application from a new couple. But what was really great was the turnout from our own members, who stayed at the grounds for the weekend to support the club and welcome the visitors.

Come along to our Open Weekend

Although the forecast isn't looking that good for Saturday, we will still be at the BOP Sun Club for their open weekend. The clubhouse is warm and cosy and the spa will be on. It will be a good chance to meet up with the members, play some board games or just chill out. You can also see the great facilities that the BOP Sun Club has, including a great covered outdoor BBQ area.
The forecast for Sunday is better if you want to come just for the day. Special discounted membership deals for new members, and all visitors will get a free goody bag. A free lunchtime sausage sizzle will be provided for all.

Open weekend

On 3-4 March, the BOP Sun Club will be holding an open day at their club grounds, 430 Manawahe Road, Matata (GPS Ref: 37^o55’S, 176^o44’E).

Have you answered your President's questions yet?

Recently, Barry, President of the Bay of Plenty Sun Club, asked all members to reply to a questionnaire regarding the club's future direction. Have you all completed this questionnaire? If not, please send your replies to Col, the Secretary on bopsc@gonatural.co.nz or by snail mail (anonymously if you like) to PO Box 476, Whakatane. The next committee meeting is on 11 March so replies should be received by Wednesday 7 March.

Pot luck BBQ this weekend

Don't forget that this Saturday, there is a pot luck BBQ and salads night at the club.

Come along and socialise with other members at Happy Hour, enjoy a BBQ and finish off with a swim or spa.
Now that the weather has improved, there could be some visitors at the club as well, so make sure you come along for the first organised function of the New Year.
Hear about Pat and Barry's time at the rally. Tell everyone about your Christmas holidays and how you filled in the time in the rain!
Did anyone have any experiences over the holidays that might be of interest to the other club members? Barry would love some news snippets for his newsletter I am sure.
So make sure that you come along to the club and catch up with other members over the weekend.

Now that the sunshine has finally arrived...

...why not pop out to the club and enjoy that wonderful BOP sunshine!

We have a lot of visitors booked in over the next few months, so why not join them at the club and show them some BOPSC hospitatlity.

Merry Christmas

The committee of the Bay of Plenty Sun Club wishes all members a very happy Christmas and peaceful and healthy New Year.

We hope that some of you will visit the club over the holiday period and make use of the fantastic facilities that the club has to offer.

We are expecting a number of overseas and local visitors at the club so it would be great if there were some members staying at the grounds to welcome them and make them feel at home.

Don't forget our pot luck dinner - a BBQ with salads - on 21 January. Come along to enjoy the long summer nights and good weather while it lasts.
