Our club was chartered in May 1982. This, our 40th anniversary year, is an opportunity to reflect on, and celebrate, the Club’s many activities and achievements over the years. Here is one such achievement:
1995 - 1997: Homewood garden parties.
The very popular garden party series came about as a result of discussions between the Club and then British High Commissioner, Robert Alston, and his wife, Pat. The first, in 1995, raised $7,000 for Mary Potter Hospice. The second, in the following year, raised money for various children’s charities, and the third, in 1997, raised $3,000 for the Save the Children Fund.
These garden parties were ‘traditional English’ in style, with cream tea, strawberries and cream, a brass band playing the hymn ‘Jerusalem’ and other appropriate tunes, games including coconut shies and skittles, and demonstrations of Morriss dancing.
Applications for membership are always welcome.
If you’d like to learn more about Rotary and the personal satisfaction and growth that comes from serving others, please contact Andrea Skews, E andrea.skews@gmail.com, M 022 073 5548 or Phil Oliver, E phil@praxissoftware.co.nz, M021 292 7001.

Both VCR and TV have remotes ( may new fresh batteries) and the tv has a manual too. There is a homemade little stand with it. It always worked well, but it is from an estate so I have not tried it out myself and there are no guarantees. Please message me if you are seriously interested and would definitely pick up the lot.

I didn't know what was wrong with me

Right from a young child I have always loved food; I loved gatherings because of the food. As I got older I would steal food and money to buy food. My life was all about food and if I wasn’t eating, I was thinking about eating and food.
I was very athletic at school and not terribly worried about my weight at that time. It was when I went into high school and the “beach girls” came to our high school that I started looking at the differences. They were brown, thin and seemed to be very popular with the boys. I watched them and what they ate. I started eating what they were eating at school, but would eat as much as possible at home.
I tried to fit in, but wasn’t able to make friends easily. I was obsessed about my weight and food by now and it drove me to exercise and diets. I went on my first diet when I was sixteen years old, I took herbal diet tablets, exercised like a person obsessed and I drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes and drank black coffee to control my weight. I lost five stone and got a lot of compliments about how I looked, but that didn’t stop the self-loathing and madness in my head. It didn’t matter how much weight I lost or how thin I was, I was obsessed about my body, how fat I was and how thin I wanted to be. My self-obsession and food controlled my life, and it was to get much worse as I got older.
I started vomiting to get rid of the food I had eaten; this went on for years, through my pregnancies and well into my thirties. My weight would escalate up and down, but it was my thinking that drove me mad. I hated myself so much. Why couldn’t I just lose weight and keep it off? Why couldn’t I just be like others and eat at coffee shops and still be thin and happy?
