Welcome to all our new members who joined the Club this month.

Increased Bar Prices
Our suppliers have advised that their prices will be increasing due to an increase in Government Excise tax of
2.1% and increases in operating, distributing and material costs. Regrettably, we are not able to absorb these
increases so as at Monday 5th July 2010 Glasses of Beer and Soft drinks will increase by 10 cents, Schooners,
Half Handles, Handles and Small Jugs of Beer and Soft Drink will increase by 20 cents, Jugs of Beer and Soft Drink will increase by 40 cents, Pack Beer will increase by 20 cents, Spirits will increase by 10 cents, Glasses of Wine, Small bottles of Wine and RTD will increase by 20 cents and Bottles of Wine will increase by $1.00. We shall also be charging for Cordial at 20 cents a glass or handle and 50 cents for a Jug. In order to keep our price increase to the minimum we have had to do away with our Happy Hours on Tuesday and Thursday Evenings.

Welfare

From the 1st July 2010 Waitamata District Health Board will be charging for parking at North Shore Hospital. We have written to them to ask for an exemption, but we are told there are to be no exemptions and everyone must pay. The Parking fee is $2.00 an hour with a maximum of $10.00. The RSA, regrettably, can not absorb this cost so members please be aware that if you are being taken to North Shore Hospital you will need to pay the parking cost.
Many organisations these days ask people if they would bequeath a small amount in their will. We would ask that members give this matter their consideration and maybe bequeath an amount to our Welfare fund knowing that the money will be well spent on those we know are in need.

Library News
The Library is being well used by our RSA members, which is nice to see. We have an ever-increasing good variety of Books, Video’s, DVD’s & CD’s but there are still a number of members using our Library as a dumping ground for old books & magazines. Please put these out for recycling as it creates more work . I’ll be on Holiday for all of August. If anyone has any time to spare to take over the Library for that month I would appreciate it. Please leave a contact number at the RSA Office for me if you can help out.

RAZZA Update
Razza our Cat has had her operation and you will have noticed that she is already looking better and seems happier. A big thank you to all those who helped towards the costs involved. She will be on a special diet from now on and any donations towards the cost of her food would be gratefully appreciated.

Lost Property
We have quite a collection of lost property at the Bar so please next time you are in don’t forget to check to see if any of it is yours.

Reminder
Please return your glasses to the Bar, plates to the Restaurant and put your rubbish in the bins provided when you leave. This can save the Club a lot of money in wages.
