Te Aroha January News

There’s news about the new way of paying table money at the club.

Who has been bringing home the bacon.. well, the ham!

Talking of food and drink, there’s a strange sound when someone called for for quiet at the club

and “The King” is revealed... with a major birthday coming up.

Some wise words (maybe) from “The Wisdom of Solomon”

and not just “green fingers” or even matching green clothes but plenty of greens all round (and a bit of orange!)

Family time in Canberra

How you can help the club at Domain Day

and how to concede –1700 and yet score very very big.

It’s all here in January.
