Attendees at the AGM on Saturday 30 May 2026
The Club held its AGM for 2026 on Saturday 30 May. We had the biggest turnout for a number of years which was great because we were also fare-welling our President Dick Smith and our long serving Treasurer Daphne Knipe.
Dick is taking a short break in his native Australia before returning to shift himself and partner Robbie to Waikanae for the next stage of their lives. He says his new location is only minutes from the Waikanae Croquet and Golf Clubs and close to many cycling tracks so what’s not to like? However, he will be sorely missed by our Club having given many years of his commitment and knowledge for the benefit of all WMCC members. New President Chris Graham thanked Dick for his service and presented him with a gift from us all – a battery powered drill to drill the holes for the pictures in his new home.
Chris also fare-welled Daphne Knipe as our highly efficient Treasurer for the past eleven years and sent a large bunch of flowers to her home in appreciation from us all. She was unfortunately unable to attend the AGM because of ill health.
