A new Patron and a new Life Member were signed in at the AGM (13th December 2009).

Tangi Martin tendered his resignation as Patron.  Tangi has held the position since 1992 and felt that it was time for him to step aside for a more 'active' member to take over.  Tangi is one of the few remaining 'original' members.

Rod McFarlane is the new Patron.  Rod has been with the club since 1962 and we have seen 3 generations of the McFarlanes through the Club.

It would come as no surprise that Tangi Martin has also been made a Life Member.




It is with sadness that June Cage (Life Member) passed away on October 30 2009 at Taupo Hospital.  June and late husband Don were stalwarts of the early years of the Club (a fact recognised by their Life Membership ).

June's funeral service will be held Saturday 7 November 11:00am at St Andrews Anglican Church, Titiraupenga St, Taupo.


Work Party - 14/15 November.  Contact workparty@tauposki.org.nz
