There are many reasons to join the Ladies Rebus Club of Warkworth, but perhaps top of the list is their morning teas and, especially, the curried egg sandwiches.
The club celebrated it 25th year last year (originally called Probus) and currently has close to 60 members.
President Beryl Good-Penn says although the club is not a service club, individually, club members are contributing across a whole range of community organisations, from the Warkworth Brass Band to the food bank and hospice.
“We just want to let women in the Warkworth area know that we are here and they are welcome to join us,” she says.
The club meets at Besoul in Gumfield Drive on the fourth Tuesday of the month, starting at 10am.
The programme includes two guest speakers – one before and one after the magnificent morning teas arranged by Val Aston and her team. Recent speakers have covered topics as diverse as the founding of Sculptureum to acupuncture, Africa and what it is like to skipper a super yacht.
On July 25, the guest speakers will be Helen and Gavin Cook, from the television show The Dog House.
Good-Penn says the club also arranges occasional bus trips to places of interest such as the Auckland Art Gallery and the Auckland Museum.
“Our motto is: Fun, friendship and fellowship.”
She says membership is $25 per year, although anyone interested is welcome to attend their first three meetings for free to see if it’s for them.
“No one is under any obligation to return.”
