New Members
We would like to welcome Joanne Herd, Margaret Hughes and Shirley Scott to Naseby Vision; it is great to have new members join. We now total 290. If you know anyone who would like to join Naseby Vision please put them in touch with one of the committee members.
AGM
The Naseby Vision AGM is to be held on Monday 28th October 2013 in the Naseby Town Hall. The meeting will commence at 10:00am. Everyone is welcome. There is a resolution to amend the Naseby Vision Rules this year. An invitation to consider joining the Committee and a proxy form will be sent to you separately.
There
are only a few copies of this book left. They would make an ideal Christmas
present. To avoid disappointment you can purchase your copy from the Naseby
General Store, Naseby Information and Craft, The Museum, T Books’ n Things
(Ranfurly) or Paper plus (Otago wide) at a cost of $49.99.
AED Machine (Automated External Defibrillator)
The
AED machine has been relocated to the Royal Hotel due to the closure of the
Ancient Briton. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the Ancient
Briton for hosting the AED. Access to the machine is only available if the
Hotel is open. It was decided to relocate to The Royal for several reasons; 1.
Central location in the Township, 2. Accessibility, 3. Statistically, you are
more likely to be in need of its services in the evening/night time. 4. There
are likely to be more people around to offer assistance at the Royal Hotel, 5.
The machine needs a secure, warm environment to function properly and to prolong
the life of the battery.
Naseby
Lamp Light Project
The heritage lamp project continues to cause
headaches and delays due to the snow and its aftermath, plus escalating costs
associated with cabling and suitable locations. A working bee for the trenching
and concreting has been organised for the weekend commencing November 9th/
10th 2013. Everyone is welcome, please can you contact Stewart
Francis (03 444 9935) if you can help.
The Information Office will be holding their
annual fundraiser on Sunday 27th October. This is a hugely popular
night with tables selling out quickly. Get your team together and register by
calling the information Office on 03 444 9961.
Children
Day (1st January)
A volunteer is needed to take over from Bill
Morice as the Co-ordinator of this hugely successful event. Bill has done a
fantastic job and is stepping down due to family health reasons. Please contact

manual” and would be happy to mentor his successor.
