Rachel Dawick and Jon Sanders 'The Boundary Riders'

Meow, 9 Edward Street, Thursday 23 May, 8.00pm, $15

Celebrating New Zealand Music Month, Acoustic Routes is proud to present Rachel Dawick’s ‘The Boundary Riders - Musical Tales of NZ Pioneer Women’ concert, as part of its New Zealand tour. Rachel will be accompanied by internationally acclaimed musician Jon Sanders (www.jon-sanders.com) and special guest artists Dave Kahn (The Broadsides) and Andy Laking (Grada). ‘The Boundary Riders’ follows the journey of a range of infamous characters whose names largely unknown in our history pages reveal stories that would slip easily into any Wild West Adventure Book. From prostitutes to missionary wives, goldminers to magicians, these beguiling characters and their tales of conquests, survival, persistence, and the merging of peoples and cultures from far distant lands, have all given birth to New Zealand as we know her today.

Concert opened by Wellington's own Mary Livingston and Peter Denee.

Special General Meeting

SGM Sunday 26 May 5.30 ‘The Back Paddock’.

11-15 Torrens Terrace, Te Aro.

Followed by a pot luck tea at 7pm or when SGM finishes. Bring something to share.

Parking directly outside the building or across the road between the white flats and

the corrugated iron fence.

BUT GET A PARKING TICKET FOR YOUR DASHBOARD.

As mentioned previously, the main driving factor for the constitution changes has

been the need to reword parts of the document relating to auditing the accounts, to

bring it into line with new accounting standards. We are also taking the opportunity

presented by the auditor/review matter to tidy up some bits here and there, bring

the officer’s “job descriptions” into line with current practice and incorporate the

now ever present modern technology.

Thanks to our club legal experts Peter Denee for writing our draft ensuring we

covered everything correctly and Mary Hubble for reading and giving feedback on

our draft.

Please find attached

* Motions to be passed covering the changes to the constitution.

* A comparison between the new and old constitution so you can clearly see what

is changed.

* Letter from our accountant informing us of the need to change.
