3 FROM THE SCRIBE S PEN.. What a start to the year weather wise with it being hot, muggy, wet and wild, especially over the last couple of days. Though the weather may be a little unsettled we have had a steady month to start the year, so pop down and keep in the know with what s happening in the clubrooms and with the RSA in general. So what s happening I hear you ask? Let s begin with Friday s, it is not only club night but an evening of Live Entertainment arranged for your enjoyment. Last Friday we got the ball rolling with THE ORIGINALS and by all accounts it was an excellent night. Tonight will be entertaining the punters. He is an exceptional musician and vocalist with a wide range of music, something for everyone, and well worth coming along to enjoy. On February 9 th STAMPEDE return for their 4 th performance here at the RSA. They are a growing band with a country background but can play music from any genre. A must see band. Coming up on Saturday the 24 th of February the RSA presents will be preforming with THE OUTLAWS as her backing band.

As a reminder bingo is on every Monday afternoon from 1:00 to 2:30pm except on Public Holidays. It is a lot of fun and can be quite profitable for those who win; why not turn up and give it a whirl. On the adjuncts front. Darts are always first out of the blocks with the Annual Tri-Series with Birkenhead & Tauranga RSA s played every Auckland Anniversary weekend. Last year Whangarei hosted this event, this year it was Birkenhead s turn, which means next year Tauranga will be the host.
