NEXT WEEKS SPEAKER

JOINT MEETING WITH ROTARY CLUB OF JOHNSONVILLE

A reminder that this weeks meeting is NOT at the Bowling Club on Tuesday, rather, we are meeting on Monday 14th May at Johnsonville.

The venue is the Restaurant of the Johnsonville Club, 1 Norman Lane, Johnsonville. Because of licencing rules, Tawa attendees will be signed in as guests. There is a cash bar.

Times: 5.50 pm for dinner at around 6.15 pm, with a finish at around 8pm.

The speaker will be Joel Watson, the First Secretary at the British High Commission.

Johnsonville has also advised that a raffle has been organised for the 14 May meeting, with the proceeds going to the “Pink Ribbon” appeal for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ, at the request of Pres. William (who is wearing a pink tie for the evening). William invites others to also consider wearing something pink. The tickets are $3 for one ticket and $5 for 2 tickets.

Due to absence over the weekend at the Rotafest18 conference a write-up of last weeks inspirational talk by Ian will be provided next week's Bulletin, along with a summary of the conference. The Agenda for next week's AGM meeting will be emailed to members later in the week.

So please try and arrive by 5.45 to allow for seating on time. Tickets are $20pp. Please register here or let Richard Herbert know of number of tickets required.

The movie is The Bookshop, which played in Berlin and was the winner of three Goya awards in Spain. Written and directed by Spanish filmmaker Isabel Coixet (Learning to Drive) and based on a Man Booker Prize short-listed novel by Penelope Fitzgerald, the film stars Emily Mortimer (Mary Poppins Returns), Bill Nighy (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) and Patricia Clarkson (House of Cards).

The Bookshop which is set in a seaside village in England in the 1950’s where a widow (Mortimer) pursues her lifelong dream of opening a bookshop. As she introduces the townsfolk to the world’s best literature and stirs a cultural awakening, her efforts are ruthlessly opposed by a powerful local grand dame (Clarkson) causing a reclusive resident (Nighy) to join the fight to keep the bookshop open.
