Travel Club Palmerston North

June / July 2006

Hi everyone. We are now half way through 2006 and have participated in several outings together.

Many of us enjoyed the day at Kapiti and you may remember the delicious homemade Shortbread at the Paraparaumu Aero Club. To me it tasted very similar to my mothers so I thought I would share her recipe with you.

MUM’S SHORTBREAD
½ lb butter
¼ lbs sugar
¾ lbs flour
Cream Butter and sugar, add flour.
Roll into a log and slice and bake at 160ºC for 20 minutes or until it looks cooked.

We would like to extend a special welcome to our new members and look forward to seeing you all on coming outings.

Membership Fees Final Reminder
Oops, some of you forgot!!

A final reminder to those who have not yet paid their $5.00 membership fees, this is now overdue. Please ensure you get your payment in no later than Friday 30 June. We will otherwise assume that you wish to discontinue your membership and will take you off our mailout list. It would be easier if you let us know if you no longer wish to be a member.
A big thankyou to all those who have paid.

Upcoming Trips:

Wanganui Experience
(Mid Winter Xmas Dinner)
29 June 2006

We depart the Travel Centre at 8.30am this morning and travel to Putiki Church, where we will be shown and told about the history of this little Maori Church. After morning tea we will venture out to Kai Iwi Beach and then to Begonia House. Malcolm will then take us to our venue for our Mid Winter Christmas Dinner. What better time to recapture what we have all done over the past six months – so bring some photos to share with us all.

After dinner we will then divide into two groups and enjoy a cake decorating demonstration and a visit to the McDonald Toy Museum. A cuppa will be served before we depart for home, aiming to arrive back in Palmerston North at 5.30pm.
