Last night a few club members attended our annual Mid Winter Dinner at Skinny Mulligan's in Waipawa.
Our current President Kay Griffiths presented Dogs NZ 25year badges to those eligible who were present.
Congrats to Kristina Beresford, Wendy and Richard Holmes, and Julie Goodwin. Wendy, Richard and Julie have been members of DNZ since the late 1980's!!!!
Also eligible are Jill Payne and Carey Wilman who were unable to be with us at the dinner.
Whew that's a while folks to be involved with an organisation for that long!
Our Firewood raffle was drawn today, by the random number generator method. Isobel who pushed that final button is one of our judges and has come all the way up from Christchurch to judge at out Jumpers show this weekend.
Well done Anita from New World. She is understandably super happy :)
