Events

This will be an amazing presentation by Boyne 

Boyne will be speaking about the Walsh Memorial Flying School. It has been operating for 57 years, each January the event happens at Waharoa Airfield near Matamata.

The event is organized by Scouts New Zealand. Rotary Newmarket and the trusts associated with Rotary Newmarket have helped to sponsor the event for about 15 years. 

Each year 40 – 45 young boys and girls, usually year 13, learn to fly during the 2 weeks camp. It is a life changing and career defining experience for the students,

about 40% of the graduates go forward into a career in aviation. Newmarket Rotary plays a significant role in sponsoring students to the school and making an

award to the best Rotary student, the Bruce Donnelly Memorial Award.  Boyne has been involved with the Walsh for over 10 years, taking over from PDG Ross Craig.

I have been contacted by Jenny Alison (021-503-060) who is looking for volunteer supports for the Annual Grocery Charity Ball on Saturday 7^th September at the Viaduct Events Centre.

Dementia NZ will receive the proceeds.

Currently :

I)13 volunteers are still needed for the evening shift of 5pm – midnight assisting with the live and silent auction proceedings and re-stocking small volumes periodically, as well as packing up after 11pm. While this is a pretty tall ask for many club members it may be something that appeals to RYLArians and a few younger members. 

II)2 volunteers are required for the 1:30pm until 5pm shift setting up tables and seating etc

All volunteers will have supervision and a full briefing for their shift. A continuous food will be supplied in the evening and we hope to have Uber vouchers for their transport!

We will be starting early so we can hear the 2 Science Forum Students before dinner then

Our keynote speaker is Dr Helen Murray from the University of Auckland. Helen,
who is based in the Centre for Brain Research (CBR), is one of the country’s
leading experts on chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a form of dementia
associated with repetitive head injury. Although CTE can be categorically
diagnosed only after death, neurologists can give a ‘probable’ CTE diagnosis
while people are alive, using an informed process of elimination.
The disease has received greater public attention in recent years as former
professional sportspeople with probable CTE, such as ex-All Black Carl Hayman,
have spoken out about the toll their sports careers have taken on their health.
She has played for the Ice Fernz ice hockey team since 2013, captaining the
side from 2016 to 2022 and also represented New Zealand in inline hockey.
Helen has seen many teammates suffer concussions and has also experienced
her own share of knocks to the head, including a mild concussion this year.

We will also be having a short talk from Sryana Sukhdev who is the 2024 Rotary
Club of Newmarket John Burton Heart Research Awardee. Sry’s work is on brain
blood flow and stroke and how to prevent reperfusion injury.

Don’t know what reperfusion is -come along & find out!!!

Meeting at the Rotary Grove

Corner Carlton Gore Road and Park road

Henry is the next generation of young aspiring builders servicing the wider Auckland Region. He finished his education at Kings College in 2014 – thoroughly enjoying his time, at Kings the careers department encouraged surgeons and lawyers – being a builder was somewhat secondary. Henry completed his building apprenticeship with BCITO in about 3 years, then started Concept Carpenters in 2017, arguably what he was distended for after mowing lawns for people’s money while at primary school.

Fast-forward to today, Henry has established Concept Carpenters to a team of 14, specialising in quality residential projects.

Henry recently connected with Charlotte and Paul at One Tree Hill College to assist with their gateway programme, he has chatted to the graduates of 2022 and 2023 - hopefully inspiring their future endeavours.

Henry and his team have also more recently been assisting with transforming the ex-state house.

This is a great opportunity for budding wine connoisseurs to taste wines from various regions of France and order the ones you like.
