First up, nau mai haere mai to our newest members Deidre Jones, Glenda Haines and Craig Innes! 

Richard Fuller and Morgan McConnell put in a strong effort in the Auckland Men's Centre Pairs last weekend with an opening round win and a 1pt loss, so great experience as they both build over the season.

On that note, free coaching has been hugely popular this season with a dozen or so members joining Coach, Steve Clifton, most Monday evening sessions for individual coaching through to fun practice games (some pics below). 3 more sessions this year before we close for the NY break so make the most of the opportunity- not all clubs offer this.

Oh, and anyone who's attended coaching this season- why not take part in our social Xmas Ham tournament on the 14th, and put those new skills to use! Free to enter.

A great big ngā mihi nui to all volunteers who help keep Rocky Nook ticking over- in particular the Club Board and Executive and Club Stewards. Our club quite simply wouldn't thrive without you.
