Our Annual General Meeting is coming up in March and we require candidates for the positions of Vice President (Male), Secretary, Activities, Speakers and Welfare and Membership to take over at the end of the meeting. This does not leave much time for you to make up your mind to contribute to the ongoing success of the Club so please give the matter serious thought.

SECRETARY’S REPORT
Happy New Year to you all, I sincerely hope that you all had a good Festive Season and you are well and able to look forward to an enjoyable, happy and safe year in 2015.
Thank you to the people who have sent in their reports for the Annual Report, I requested that they all be emailed to me by the meeting on Monday 12th January 2015. I will then compile the Report and it will be available for you in March 2015.
All nominations for the 2015 Committee are required to be in by the 9th February 2015.
All the positions in Probus are voluntary, please don't "wait to be asked" to take a position in your Club, offer yourself for election. Remember most
people are busy, go on holidays, and have a life other than Probus, so these are not really acceptable excuses!!!
Please remember that in all nominated positions there will be someone to stand in for you if you are unable to attend a meeting.
If you have not already read the attachments to the November minutes, please do so, as it will answer the questions put to the Chair at the last meeting.
I will look forward to seeing you at a Probus function soon. Best wishes for 2015

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Nga mihi o te tau tou which, as you might expect, means Happy New Year. Our Christmas luncheon was a resounding success for the 139 Members and 12 guests who attended this annual function and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Committee wishes to thank everyone who contributed to ensuring that this was a memorable event with particular thanks going to Margaret Campbell and Wilma Pontefract for the Entertainers presentation and to Verity Moore, Carole English and Anne Lukeman for organising and running the function, and of course, to all the Members who came along to enjoy themselves. This was very nearly a full house event.
All in all 46 Members were involved in preparing and presenting the event and they deserve the thanks of each and every one of our Members for their enthusiasm. This sort of willingness to contribute is the base reason that our Club continues to thrive and prosper and we need to let the contributors know that we all appreciate their efforts.
I trust you all had a happy Christmas with family and friends and we look forward to the New Year being a rewarding one for all of us.
Shortly after our December meeting we received advice from PSPL that they had decided the capitation fees for 2015-2016 and we e-mailed you a copy of the letter from PSPL President Peter Carroll advising that fees for Australian Clubs are going to be raised by $1.50 per Member to a fee of $11.50 per Member.
In a covering letter I advised that PSPL are not raising capitation fees for New Zealand members and that these remain at $NZ5.50 per Member (roughly $A5.10).
No reason for this differential has been given but it could have something to do with the fact that over half of the New Zealand Clubs have now defected from PSPL and have set up their own Service Centre which is charging $NZ3.00 per Member in capitation fees.
I have sent a note to Mr. Carroll requesting an explanation of the cost differential between Australia and New Zealand as it appears to be very discriminatory. I have also asked for some details on the streamlining and cost cutting measures the Board claims to have put in place to redress the disastrous financial performance of PSPL. Should we receive any such details we will pass them onto you.

THEATRE
The Vicar of Dibley:- Lilydale Athenaeum Theatre, Sunday 15
th March 2015 at 2pm tickets $20.00.
A comedy by Ian Gower and Paul Carpenter Life in the sleepy Oxfordshire village of Dibley is turned upside-down when the ancient former reverend dies and the diocese sends a new female vicar as his replacement.
Her arrival is met with a mixture of wonder and horror from the assorted collection of rural yokels who call Dibley home. This play is a laugh from start to finish. Relive the arrival of the new Vicar, be part of the congregation for Alice's hilarious wedding, and meet again the many insane inhabitants of the quiet village of Dibley - pompous David Horton, his son Hugo, dippy verger Alice, crude farmer Owen, Leticia, Frank and dithering "no, no, no, no, yes," Jim Trott.
Please add your name to the list and pay at our January 2015 meeting.

Lois Mason & Judy Baker As I Age When I was ready to check out and pay for my groceries the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me."
Making a mental note so I could complain to the manager about this security rubbish, I did just as she had instructed.
After the shrieking and hysterical remarks finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to how I should position my credit card.
Nonetheless, I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.
They need to make their instructions a little clearer for seniors.
I hate this getting older stuff.....!!!!!

Ethel checked into a motel on her 70th birthday and she was a bit lonely, and thought, “I’ll call one of those men you see advertised in phone books for escorts and sensual massages.”
She found a full page ad for a guy calling himself Tender Tom – a very handsome man with assorted physical skills flexing in the photo. He had all the right muscles in all the right places, thick wavy hair, long powerful legs, dazzling smile, six pack abs and she felt quite certain she could bounce a sixpence off his well oiled bum....
She figured, what the heck, nobody will ever know. I’ll give him a call.
“Good evening, ma’am, how may I help you? . . Oh my, he sounded sooo sexy!
Afraid she would lose her nerve if she hesitated, she rushed right in, “Hi, I hear you give a great massage. I’d like you to come to my motel room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I’m in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hot, and I want it now.
Bring implements, toys, rubber, leather, whips, everything you’ve got in your bag of tricks. We’ll go hot and heavy all night - tie me up, cover me in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, anything and everything, I’m ready!! Now how does that sound?”
He said, “That sounds absolutely fantastic, but you need to press 9 for an outside line.” (Ed checked birthday list – no Ethels. Whew!!)
Please add your name to PINK booking list for any of the following shows at our
meetings.
