Chief Executive Report A PERFECT STORM – there are rare moments when everything that has been done over many years comes together culminating to a defining moment in the history of the Club. As a result of last year’s trading success and good business practices over several years, the RSA management team made the final mortgage payment to ANZ Bank in the last trading period of last month – the RSA Club, land and buildings are finally freehold. Although it has been reported on several previous occasion that the RSA has not traded with an overdraft since 2005 and has amassed considerable cash reserves, it was appropriate and expedient to settle all outstanding matters before embarking on its next business venture. At an Extraordinary General Meeting of the members in July the RSA members agreed to a new line of funding to explore other business opportunities. Due to the commercially sensitive nature of the business proposal we were unable to disclose what was being considered at that time and are very grateful to those that attended the meeting that they had the confidence of the Executive Committee and management team to proceed with the project without full disclosure. It is with a great pleasure and confidence that we are in the position to now officially advise the membership of the Napier RSA that Trio Nominees (a trading entity solely owned by the Napier RSA) has purchased the freehold land, buildings and lease of 367 Gloucester Street, Taradale, commonly known and trading as the Taradale Tavern. The purchase of the business is in two parts, the freehold of the Land and buildings and the trading arm of business. New borrowings are equal to the purchase price and the RSA Management team will manage both the lease and the tenancy agreement and after all costs should increase the profit of the Association circa of $150/$200,000.00 per annum. The long term vision of the Club by the Executive Committee and the Management Team is to increase Club profits thereby increasing the goods, services and facilities of the Association on behalf of the Members. Investigations into the cost of the redevelopment of the Club are ongoing and expensive. The proposed extension to the Restaurant 2 years ago was estimated between $750/$1,000,000.00, the carpet circa of $130,000, excluding other ageing plant and equipment which is basic routine maintenance. By importing profits from external sources adding to our own solid and consistent trading profits the RSA can leapfrog their goals forward several years.

TRAVEL CLUB NEWS
Mystery Trip held 16th
August 2018
On 16th August at approximately 0900 hours we boarded the bus at the
Napier RSA, along with goodies from the restaurant, and headed south along
Kennedy Road to pick up other members. After driving approximately 1.5
hours we pulled off the main highway into the small town of Norsewood,
where we were welcomed at the Norsewear shop with a hot cup of tea or
coffee to go with our muffins. The owners talked about the history of the shop and the buildings. Those who
wanted to stay and shop were welcome to do so while the rest of us stepped out to visit the Wop Wops
Wetlands and saw the long finned eels being feed.
From here we turned left onto Danish Line (aka Norsewood/Ormondville Rd.) and a short way along this
road picked up our Guide - Juliet Van Der Oord. We continued along the road and viewed the Church of the
Epiphany
We continued on the Ormondville Railways station which has been
converted into Bed and Breakfast accommodation. From here we returned
to Juliette’s historic home for a luncheon of sandwiches, savouries and slice
followed by either tea or coffee. We were welcome to explore her and her
husband Klaus’s home.
The travel group returned to the Napier
RSA around 4.30pm after an enjoyable
days outing.
Thanks to Stan and Bernice White for
arranging this.

The Foundation New Zealand
Youth Pipe Band
While the Foundation New Zealand Youth Pipe Band was established in 2010 primarily to attend the Australian
National Pipe Band Championships in 2012, its success has seen it continue to operate as a development band for NZ
youth.
To date the band has had nearly 200 young people go through its ranks with most of these young people going on to
play with the top bands in New Zealand, some competing at world championship level.
The band has attended Australia three times - 2012, 2016 and in 2018, successfully defending its championship title
for the third time this year. The band has toured Canada and America including attending the famous piping hot
summer drummer school at Silver Star Canada where their tuition was by some of the world’s top tutors in piping and
drumming. While in North America the Band performed in Disneyland and with the six-time world champion pipe
band, Canada’s Simon Fraser University Pipe Band.
The band has won every competition it has entered. A reflection of the work put in by players, tutors and the
management team.
The band seeks and provides opportunities for players to gain experience to perform at a high level in New Zealand
and gives members memorable experiences. Some of the exciting adventures/experiences have been bungy jumping
in Queenstown, being invited to perform in the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in Wellington, NZ, a performance on
the children’s show What Now to name a few.
The band is self-funded by its members and meets four times each year in different locations around New Zealand.
When travelling around NZ the band gathers and performs at schools in
each location. To date engaging with over 32,000 children. Over 85%
of all these children have had a go on at least one of our instruments and
the enthusiasm and excitement it creates amongst the primary school
children is extremely satisfying.
Membership of the band ranges in age from 13 to 20 years. Players
come from all corners of New Zealand including Invercargill, Dunedin,
Christchurch, Wellington, Nelson, Manawatu, Hamilton, Auckland and
a number of places in between.
In September this year the band is touring Manawatu and Hawke’s Bay
with international entertainer Suzanne Prentice OBE. We will perform
in the Manawatu on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th September 2018
then travel to Hawke’s Bay performing in Napier on the 1st October and
Hastings on the 2nd October. Because of these dates being in the school
holidays the band will not be performing in local schools, instead
trialling a new concept of hiring a venue and inviting school aged
children to attend to see the Band for free. Of course, adults will pay a
small fee of around $30 to help offset costs. We are hoping this will
provide an opportunity for families to bring their children to watch a
professionally directed show for a fraction of the actual cost of
producing it. Funding is also constantly sort to assist the members with
Travel, accommodation and tuition.

When I go fetch my bag, a dozen pensioner women
are doing aerobics in the Napier Returned Services
Association. Their instructor is young, breezy,
sunshine-cheerful and supple as a whip. The old dears
aren’t. They do stiff parodies of her bends and
stretches. When one of them sees me watching her
trying to touch her knees, she straightens and looks
flustered and I move on.

World Under 21
Snooker Championship
The difficulties of juggling work, a social life, family time and practice among other things made it hard for
Michaela to prepare for the World Under 21 Snooker Championships (Worlds). As many others from the
New Zealand Snooker Team (NZST) had access to a snooker table when they needed in order for them to
practice, Michaela did not, she
spent hours of practice time at
the Napier RSA and playing in
tournaments around the bay to
hone her skills. Despite the many
hindrances during the days
leading up to departure,
Michaela was in high spirits as
she was about to embark on a
journey that saw her compete for
the first time at the Worlds.
Michaela’s departure took an
emotional toll on her mother as
she broke in to tears of joy for
her daughter, proud that she had Michaela in uniform playing at the championships
achieved such an amazing
opportunity, but nervous that she
was leaving to a country she had never been to, an emotion shared by many a mothers in the same or similar
position when their daughter leaves for a big trip. The journey to China was a nervous but exciting affair.
When Michaela got there she realized that she wasn’t really keen on Chinese food and didn’t really like
getting out of her comfort zone, thankfully there was Burger King and Dairy Queen, where she would mainly
go if she was hungry during the day, well, there and the supermarket. The breakfast at the hotel she says
“sucked” and that they only had peaches and toast.
It was quite good to get to know all the boys in the NZST, as she was the only female in the team and felt
left out. The boys she felt were always walking on egg shells around her, and they had their little groups
among themselves, so she had to put herself out there a bit more to get to know them and there antics.
Eventually the boys proved to annoying for Michaela and she sort out
her own friends, befriending the Chinese volunteer girls who took her
out to do girly things, which the boys were very unlikely to do with
her.
Michaela enjoyed going to Jinan City, away from where they were
staying as it was in her words “disgusting”. She said she saw a child
squatting over the drain like it was a toilet, and another child squatting
over a newspaper taking a dump in the street. Another thing she didn’t
like and wasn’t used to was that they didn’t have proper toilets, they
had “squatty potties”, which she refused to use and used the handicap
toilet because that had the kind of toilet that she was used to, thankfully
the hotel she was staying at had a normal toilet. Definitely a lot of new
eye opening experiences and challenges to face when visiting China.
Another thing Michaela really enjoyed was in the underground shops;
there was an archery place where she felt at home. Next to Snooker,
archery is her next best thing she likes to do, “it was also good to get
Archery in the underground shops a break from all the snooker and just relax and chill out doing
archery”.During the competition when Micheala was practicing,
she noticed that a father was cursing another female
competitor, she asked if this girl would like to practice
with her in the hope that it would prevent the girls father
from delivering any further abuse. Michaela played a bit
with this girl as her father now and then reminded her of
how useless he thought she was, after practice playing
with her a bit Michaela found herself in a position where
she could help this girl, she smartly played a practice
game into a position where by it came down to the last The girl Michaela helped
few balls and a crowd had gathered around them. The
girl who had previously been abused by her father won the practice game, with a great finishing shot and
the crowd applauded generously. Her dad changing his tune to a more proud approach, commending and
complimenting his daughter in a more supportive way. A moment Michaela feels proud of herself.
PJ Nolan was an amazing experience for Michaela. She said she
received an hour of training from one of the best coaches in the
world. He gave her some tips on how to improve her game, and
showed her good ways to do things that gave her lots to think about
and a new insight in to the game. An invaluable training session
she will never forget and also appreciate.
The flight home was somewhat of an interesting first experience
for Michaela on China Southern Airways. As they were serving
the food for dinner, she noticed not far along from where she was
seated, a young boy was crouching having a poo in the aisle.
Everyone around her were carrying on with business as normal, as
if it was nothing of any great consequence, suffice to say she was
disgusted and says she has never seen that before, as I’m sure not
Michaela with P.J Nolan
many of us have.
Overall, Michaela thought it was a really good trip, aside from some of the disgusting things she saw,
she say she really did enjoy herself – “I definitely learnt a lot from this experience and there is still a lot
I’ll need to practice and work on during my spare time”
Well done Michaela, and congratulations on a good tripNapier Returned and Services’ Association

‘Real progress requires Passion’
by Ron Rowe
A few months ago, when addressing a group in relation to OUR Trust … in question time a person asked ..
‘what was the single most important key to the success of work of the Trust?’ Which is, as you know, to
provide opportunities for the achievement of potential in youth – through Health-related careers - who might
not otherwise be able to go on to achieve that potential, for them or for theirs and our communities.
Wow! What a great question. The single most important key to the success of work of the Trust? As I was
thinking how to respond a voice from the middle of the audience said. “Surely it is Passion for the cause, or
outcomes.” Again… Wow!! One doesn’t usually get that sort of question. Or that sort of answer from the
floor.
So, I answered the question saying something that I
used in a session when teaching in the
management/business faculty at EIT. I couldn’t recall
the exact words that I’d used in my class which went
something like….. “In order to progress anything at all
rests on the passion that one genuinely exhibits, and
sustains, for the causes and purposes of the project or
outcomes sought, irrespective of the blocks that may
happen on the way.”
Since then I have thought a great deal about that
question, again and again, and thought further about
Passion and its relationship to emotions…
Passion … is a feeling of intense enthusiasm towards or compelling desire for something. Passion can range
from eager interest in or admiration for an idea, proposal, or cause; to enthusiastic enjoyment of an interest
or activity; to strong attraction, excitement, or emotion towards an outcome especially when that outcome
enables all who contribute, or take part, to gain the fullest sense of accomplishment.
Emotions come from strong feelings for something and are triggered by relationships with others and a cause
that brings fullest satisfaction. As is the case with those who are now, or will, support the aims of OUR Trust.
Please speak with Trustee Selwyn Hawthorne about OUR Trust. For more information or to chat through
how you can assist please speak with Selwyn Hawthorne at email or phone.

for a while and finally said to the blonde
policewoman, "What does a driver's license

Irritated, the blonde cop said, "You dummy,
it's got your picture on it!"
The blonde driver frantically searched her
purse again and found a small, rectangular

Chomp NZ Pale Ale
ALC VOL 4.75%
Embrace your inner velociraptor and
get your jaws around this very special
brew. Chomp is a New Zealand pale
ale, and in true kiwi style, it’s the best
of both worlds – well rounded and free
from frills and feathers. Starting with
hints of orange and tropical fruit
flavours, it’ll then snap at you with a
touch of toothy bitterness, all backed
up with a subtle Pacifica and Motueka
hop flavour. Enjoy the taste, mind the
teeth.

Date: / /A young Programmer and his Project Manager board a train headed through the mountains on its way
to Wichita. They can find no place to sit except for two seats right across the aisle from a young woman
and her grandmother. After a while, it is obvious that the young woman and the young programmer are
interested in each other, because they are giving each other looks. Soon the train passes into a tunnel
and it is pitch black. There is a sound of a kiss followed by the sound of a slap.
When the train emerges from the tunnel, the four sit there
without saying a word. The grandmother is thinking to
herself, "It was very brash for that young man to kiss my
granddaughter, but I'm glad she slapped him."
The Project manager is sitting there thinking, "I didn't know
the young tech was brave enough to kiss the girl, but I sure
wish she hadn't missed him when she slapped me!"
The young woman was sitting and thinking, "I'm glad the
guy kissed me, but I wish my grandmother had not slapped
him!"
The young programmer sat there with a satisfied smile on his face. He thought to himself, "Life is good.
How often does a guy have the chance to kiss a beautiful girl and slap his Project manager all at the same
time!"
Harry!
A male driver is pulled over by a cop and the following
conversation takes place:
Man: What's the problem officer?
Cop: You were going at least 75 in a 55 zone.
Man: No sir, I was going 65.
Wife: Oh Harry. You were going 80.
(Man gives his wife a dirty look.)
Cop: I'm also going to give you a ticket for your broken tail light.
Man: Broken tail light? I didn't know about a broken tail light!
Wife: Oh Harry, you've known about that tail light for weeks.
(Man gives his wife a dirty look.)
Cop: I'm also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt.
Man: Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car.
Wife: Oh Harry, you never wear your seat belt.
Man: Shut your mouth, woman!
Cop: Ma'am, does your husband always talk to you this way?
Wife: No, only when he's drunk.Saturday 1st The Beat Girls 8.00 pm
