Letter from Manager, Chris Sutton We were very happy with how the Breakfast with the Prime Ministe event went and how many business people turned up at such an early hour. I appreciated having the opportunity to work with both the Glen Innes and Ellerslie Business Association to make the event a success. I received some positive feedback via email and there was a general buzz in the community about the breakfast with a comment from Lee at Gourmet Café saying ‘people feel more positive about Panmure after hearing about the Prime Minister coming into our area’. Thank you so much for a great opportunity this morning. I enjoyed it. Keep me posted if any good event happening around us... Regards Kala, Sri Puteri’s Well done with this event.

On Thursday 13 June I attended the NZMA Hospitality & Cookery School Open Day at their Panmure Campus. It was quite the party scene with support from The Edge Radio Station.

In addition to this I have to offer my on going thanks to the Salvation Army for their long term assistance to those in need in Panmure. You will have seen them in the service lanes assisting us with our annual clean-up. A kind word to them while they toil never goes amiss. Thanks also to the Landmark Bar that has helped us on many occasions when we’ve needed to clear away some extra rubbish, we do appreciate your help.

The Club now exists on the Mt Wellington War Memorial Park in Dunkirk Road after merging with the Tamaki Ruby Club. The Club has 6 Rugby grounds, 3 of which are all weather sand slit fields. Several of the fields have lighting for night games. The Club has over 450 Junior players with Ripper Rugby for 5 year olds up to Premier Teams. During the Summer months the fields are used for Sevens and the Club is looking at establishing a Touch Module for this coming Summer for children and adults. Apart from the Rugby side of Marist, the Club Rooms boast spectacular views over the Tamaki estuary with scopes towards Pakuranga and Bucklands Beach. The main hall can cater for a maximum of 250 people and is a perfect venue for lunches, brunches, celebrations and business gatherings. Prices are competitive and a caterer is available through Marist.
