10th ANNIVERSARY AGM

Raewyn's marvellous cake


A very successful AGM was held on the 22 July with a good turnout of members and some visitors from other SeniorNets. We farwelled Cathie from our Committee but have now been joined by Ruby.

On the day several of our members who have been around from the beginning and a little later, reminisced a bit about the past. We were also pleased to hear from Mr. SeniorNet himself, Jack Hazlett.


Later the Chairman's wife cut the cake which had been so wonderfully made by Raewyn.

To give some details of our background -

The idea to start a SeniorNet in the Hutt came following a talk on the 16 March 1998 by Grant Sidaway to the
Combined Probus Club of Hutt. Our major sponsors at our start up were Telecom NZ and the Rotary Club of Western Hutt.

The first meeting of the Steering Committee was held on the 23 November 1998 with our Incorporation taking place on the 24 December 1998.

A great deal of thanks is owed to those who worked so hard and diligently a decade ago (many of whom are still hard at work today) as well as the tremendous assistance we got from New Zealand's first SeniorNet, Wellington.
