Thanks to everyone who attended the mid-winter lunch 🍽️🍷but especially to The Social Committee❕Stellar job on organising a really enjoyable, festive, & relaxed get-together.

Nibbles, the shared dishes for both the main course & dessert provided by all, were plentiful ❕& absolutely delicious.

Mulled w**e & the odd extra bottle flowed as much as the conversation.

Its such occasions that underpin the value of social connection, engagement & fun…. & belonging to the Turangi-Southern Lakes Probus Club 😉

Her talk which focused a lot on the community importance of the Trout Centre, her plans for increasing the educational value it can provide, & how important continued volunteer support is, prompted a really lively, interactive discussion.

John Ball’s presentation to our Probus group at this months meeting was an enlightening glimpse into a pivotal part of Turangi’s history, centred on the 15+ years it took to complete the Tongariro Power Project. We learnt so much about the skill & grit & tenacity of the tunnellers, Italian & Kiwi alike, who carved out the 30 miles of tunnels through unbelievably difficult & dangerous conditions unique to the volcanic Central Plateau. These men, & their families, played a huge part in our community’s history & it is reassuring to see that their stories are not lost thanks to the efforts of John Ball & the documentaries he has produced.
