The Rotary Club of Karori is one of 36,754 clubs with 1.2 million members in 220 countries and territories around the world.
Our club was chartered in May 1982. This, our 40th anniversary year, is an opportunity to reflect on, and celebrate, the Club’s many activities and achievements over the years. Here is one such achievement:

1995 - 1997: Homewood garden parties.
The very popular garden party series came about as a result of discussions between the Club and then British High Commissioner, Robert Alston, and his wife, Pat. The first, in 1995, raised $7,000 for Mary Potter Hospice. The second, in the following year, raised money for various children’s charities, and the third, in 1997, raised $3,000 for the Save the Children Fund.
These garden parties were ‘traditional English’ in style, with cream tea, strawberries and cream, a brass band playing the hymn ‘Jerusalem’ and other appropriate tunes, games including coconut shies and skittles, and demonstrations of Morriss dancing.

Applications for membership are always welcome.
If you’d like to learn more about Rotary and the personal satisfaction and growth that comes from serving others, please contact Andrea Skews, E andrea.skews@gmail.com, M 022 073 5548 or Phil Oliver, E phil@praxissoftware.co.nz, M021 292 7001.

Homewood Garden Party, November 1997.

Both VCR and TV have remotes ( may new fresh batteries) and the tv has a manual too. There is a homemade little stand with it. It always worked well, but it is from an estate so I have not tried it out myself and there are no guarantees. Please message me if you are seriously interested and would definitely pick up the lot.

Our patties are 100% quality beef, and all that’s added is a dash of salt and pepper when cooked. We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including those at the world-class Whangara Farms.

It is a Victa Mustang 20 V50 and is maybe 30 years old. Not in pristine condition but runs well once started but could do with a tune up and maybe a new spark plug. I also … View more
