Presidents Report Over $30,000.00 raised by the combined effort of Clubs Hastings, Taradale RSA and us. The clubs joined together to discuss what we could do for the brave firefighters battling the horrific fires burning in Australia. The decision was to each host events that best suited each club in an effort to raise as much funds possible. The appeal itself is to raise funds to provide some hardworking Australian Firefighters and families a well-deserved rest in our paradise, Hawkes Bay. Many of the firefighters are on the frontline of this destructive inferno, are selflessly protecting communities, towns and lives while putting their own health and life on the line. We estimated at the time that every $10k raised is another firefighter and family that can be given a well-earned breakaway to the Hawkes Bay. We have since made contact with the firefighters union who have been working on a similar project by providing accommodation in New Zealand, they have the ability to also find the candidates who will benefit from this appeal. We will keep you informed as we move forward. Art Deco is going to hit the Hawkes Bay like the recent heat wave. Once again it will show case Napier and its history. We are always welcoming to the many visitors from fellow clubs and international visitors. The Napier RSA will be dressed to the occasion including the restaurant, clubrooms and staff. I have already brought some tickets to the Dennis Marsh & Brendan Duggan Show, these are selling fast and we do expect to be a full house during the festival. We have had the first 2020 Strategic meeting, where we have utilized much of the previous committee findings to focus our resources and time on this current plan. First, we have looked at other potential sites and what we would pay in comparison to staying on our current site. The original investigations in 2013 showed that this site is where the future looks best. Secondly, carparks. We know that we can’t put them underground and the only way to gain more parks is to build them above us. This is going to be a major initiative, we will update as we progress down this track. The summer is upon us and we want to shine with all of our expected visitors this month. The gardens have had a spruce up and we do hope they continue to blossom. Finally, the recent news of the Coronavirus has already impacted our country and we will not be sheltered from the effects. The following notice is from the Ministry of Health: If you get SICK within a MONTH of arriving from NZ, please seek MEDICAL ADVICE as soon as you can. Telephone the free Healthline on 0800 611 116. It is important that you tell them that you have been outside of NZ recently. John Purcell QSM JP Napier RSA President
Teach them to think for
themselves
A POWERFUL LESSON TAUGHT TO
KIDS FROM AN ALTERNATIVE
THINKING TEACHER.
The class was learning about the Salem
Witch Trials, and their teacher told them
they were going to play a game.
“I’m going to come around and whisper
to each of you whether you’re a witch or
a normal person. Your goal is to build
the largest group possible that does NOT
have a witch in it. At the end, any group
found to include a witch gets a failing
grade.”
The teens dove into grilling each other.
One fairly large group formed, but most
of the students broke into small,
exclusive groups, turning away anyone
they thought gave off even a hint of guilt.
What Is A Veteran?
“Okay,” the teacher said. “You’ve got
your groups. Time to find out which
ones fail. All witches, please raise your
hands.”
A “Veteran” – whether active duty,
discharged, retired, or reserve – is

An Irishman wants a job, but the foreman won't hire him until he passes a little math test. Here is your first question, the foreman said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9." "Without numbers?" The Irishman says? "Dat is easy." And proceeds to draw three trees. "What's this?" the boss asks. "Have you ain't got no brain? Tree and tree plus tree makes 9" says the Irishman. "Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same rules, but this time the number is 99." The Irishman stares into space for a while, then picks up the picture that he has just drawn and makes a little smudge on each tree... "Ere you go." The boss scratches his head and says, "How on earth do you get that to represent 99?" "Each of da trees is dirty now. So, it's dirty tree, and dirty tree, plus dirty tree. Dat makes 99." The boss is getting worried that he's going to actually have to hire this Irishman, so he says, "All right, last question. Same rules again, but represent the number 100." The Irishman stares into space some more, then he picks up the picture again and makes a little mark at the base of each tree and says, "Ere you go. One hundred." The boss looks at the attempt. "You must be nuts if you think that represents a hundred!" The Irishman leans forward and points to the marks at the base of each tree and whispers, "A little dog come along and poop by each tree. So now you got dirty tree and a turd, dirty tree and a turd, and dirty tree and a turd, which makes ONE HUNDRED!"

Askerne is named after an old Yorkshire Spa town, which was the birthplace of Kathryn Loughlin. The trees
on the label are a representation of the gum trees which are a major feature of the site.
The Askerne Estate Winery vineyard site comprises six different soils varying between river gravels, sandy
soils, silt and loams. The sub soils vary from gravels, red-metal and clay. These various soils have been
matched to particular varieties and also to produce complexity within varietal styles.
The site also has unique climatic attributes. It is forward of both the Haumoana hills and Havelock North
hills and is close to the coast, benefiting from the moderating effect of the sea. It is a plains site receiving
cooling winds from all directions including draughts from the adjoining Tuki Tuki river which laid down
the various soils. These cooling effects are key contributors to the elegance and aromatics of our white wines.
The soils and climate provide a base, which is built on by a variety of clones and rootstocks within each
variety to add further complexity. Our viticultural management reflects a meticulous approach to our
philosophy that fine wine is made in the vineyard.

availableWhy ‘tock-tick’ does not
sound right to your ears
Ever wondered why we say tick-tock, not tock-tick, or ding-
dong, not dong-ding; King Kong, not Kong King? Turns out it
is one of the unwritten rules of English that native speakers
know without knowing.
The rule, explains a BBC article, is: “If there are three words
then the order has to go I, A, O. If there are two words then
the first is I and the second is either A or O. Mish-mash, chit-
chat, dilly-dally, flip-flop, tic tac, sing song, ding dong, King
Kong, ping pong.”
There’s another unwritten rule at work in the name Little Red Riding Hood, says the article.
“Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-
purpose-noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess
with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac.”
That explains why we say “little green men,” but “Big Bad Wolf” sounds like a gross violation of the “opinion
(bad) – size (big) – noun (wolf)” order. It won’t though, if you recall the first rule about the I-A-O order.
That rule seems inviolable: “All four of a horse’s feet make exactly the same sound. But we always, always say
clip-clop, never clop-clip.”
This rule even has a technical name, if you care to know it – the rule of ablaut reduplication – but then life is
simpler knowing that we know the rule without knowing it.
And then…..That time of year is rolling around fast…

2020 Gatherings Restart
th
13 February 10.00 amOn Sunday 19th. January 2020 the Members Fun Day got underway on time at
10:00am for the twentieth year. 20 contestants played Table Tennis, Bowls, Golf, Pool
& Darts and it all came down to the very last game to determine the overall winners.
Normally there is only one winner whose name is engraved on the trophy, however,
this year two players tied for first place and decided to share the prize money rather
than participate in a play-off. Interestingly enough second place was also shared
between two contestants.
The winners were;
1st Equal - Lynn Woods & Rob McNaught
2nd Equal - Steve deLatour & Doug Wright
The winners were presented with the Gordon Knox Memorial Trophy by Blake Knox
the grandson of the late Gordon Knox. Our thanks once again go to all participants
and especially to the Knox Family members who have attended each Fun Day since its
inauguration in 2000. We must also thank the Indoor Bowls adjunct whose members
consistently punch well over their weight when it comes to supporting the Napier RSA.
We raised $120.00 from entry fees and this was matched, dollar for dollar, by the
Sports Council resulting in a donation of $240 towards the Fire Fighting Appeal. My
thanks to the Staff for their assistance throughout a long busy day, also to all the
contestants for once again making this day both special and enjoyable.
Looking forward to next year already!

“The flowers in the club brighten up our day - thank
you”. A shared thank you to Flowerlands in Clive for
providing the Napier RSA with our fresh flowers each week
- AND - Our volunteers who kindly arrange the flowers
each Friday. We have received many compliments on the
flowers and while we are only able to have them this
frequently over summer it has brightened the club up for
everyone to enjoy.
