Simon Dalton

At our luncheon on 14th February our special guest speaker will be "Doc" Mayhew former 

All Blacks & current Warriors doctor.

John will be speaking about his experiences with the All Blacks and will then share a very personal experience of how his life was saved by an AED ( Automated External Defibrillator).

At the meeting we will be launching a District 9920 Initiative for every club to put at least one AED into their community.

We are delighted to advise John has agreed to be the District Ambassador for this project.

At the meeting we will demonstrating how to use an AED-hopefully not in a real life situation!!

We have invited a representative of all Auckland clubs to attend the luncheon so consequently for catering you need to register to attend.

Bring a guest, potential member or your partner as what better day to launch the Heart Savers project on Valentines Day.

" Doc" Mayhew is a great speaker so this is a luncheon not to miss.

Pop Up Globe
From President Simon
 
As You Like It
Presented by the Pop-up Globe King’s Company
 
“I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it”
 
The Pop-up Globe King’s Company presents Shakespeare’s brilliant comedy, As You Like It, at Pop-up Globe Auckland.
 
A young girl and her friend, wanted by the authorities, escape the tyrannical court and find shelter in the ancient Forest of Arden. But they’re not alone. And as the Forest works its transformative magic on all those who seek refuge there, love and life have never felt more precious.
 
Set in the summer of 1642 - just months before the outbreak of the bloody and disastrous English Civil War and the permanent closure of the original second Globe theatre - and performed by a full all-male cast in authentic costumes of the period, As You Like It is an exercise in early modern escapism.
 
The Pop-up Globe King’s Company is Pop-up Globe’s resident all-male company of actors and live musicians, working with world experts to bring you the authentic shock of the old: the effect of Shakespeare’s plays performed in the space and style for which they were written.
 
For the Pop-up Globe King’s Company
Director: Tom Mallaburn (UK)
Designer: Barbara Capocci
Composer: Paul McLaney
