21st & 40th CELEBRATIONS

Bruce and Brian Johnstone celebrated their respective 21st and 40th birthdays recently with a party in the Sovereign Ballroom. Guests came from around N Z and as far away as London to enjoy the occasion.

NORTHOVER ~ WILSON

Hayden Emily Wilson, daughter of Ana Wilson announced her engagement to Corey Dwayne Northover, son of Emily and Robert Northover.

90th BIRTHDAY

In his younger years Alan Barnes-Graham qualified 6th for the N Z Amateur titles. At 74 he was able to shoot his age on the golf course. At 90 he still frequents the practise areas and it is well within his ability to do a round under 90. Alan has been offered the use of a motorised buggy so perhaps he will do it one day.
