June Update

HOW TO PLAY
Everybody comes to the party wearing the six different colors of a Rubik’s cube (red, green, yellow, white, orange and blue).  At this point everyone should resemble an unsolved side of a Rubik’s cube. As the party continues everyone trade articles of clothing with each other so that by the end, everyone is wearing only one color of clothing and accessories.

THE SWITCH
Clothing changes will be announced at the beginning of certain songs played by our DJ. Everyone must make all their clothing and accessory switches by the time a song is over.

REMEMBER

• No-one should wear anything that you’d like to keep – go to the red cross shop or wear something you no longer want.
• You will be changing out in public so they should wear under clothing that they’re comfortable in.
• Clothes should wear bright and solid colored
• Wearing accessories like belts, hats, glasses or scarves adds to the fun at the end of the night.

The point is to end up only wearing one solid color by the end of the night by swapping articles of clothing with other guests.  Males can wear female clothing and vise versa.

THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PLAY WILL BE “FINED” A GOLD COIN.

Donovan joined the club in 1999 and received his Bronze Award in 2000.  He quickly achieved his IRB Crew and Drivers certificate, as well as becoming a qualified trainer and assessor for our Bronze squads and IRB candidates.  He is also a jet ski operator.  He was Patrol Member of the Year in 2004 and 2007, and received the President’s award in the same year.  He became IRB Captain from 2004 until 2010.  In 2008 he won the Norman Cook Club Member of the Year.  He also held the position of Junior Club Captain  between 2004 and 2008.  Over the years Donovan has religiously put in a huge number of hours of patrolling,  training and assessing, as well as keeping all of our IRB’s operational.  Together with Terry Barber he was always elbows deep in a motor.  On top of all this Donovan built and maintained our Club website.  He recently expended a huge amount of time and effort donating his IT expertise and building the brand new Club website.  With a demanding brief that grew over time, he implemented every request without complaint and put together a vastly improved web presence which will benefit all of our members and clubhouse users for many years to come. Without members such as Donovan, the Club simply could not function.  Donovan is a long service member, and with young children is perhaps not around the Club quite as much as he used to be.  He is however, still as committed as ever, and assisting the Club greatly behind the scenes.  I would like to thank Donovan and his wife Sally for a tremendous and vast commitment over many, many years.
