  - 17 Nov 2008
  - Waikanae Golf Club
  - On Monday 17th November, the new furniture was delivered and installed in the Clubhouse lounge in time for the return to the Clubhouse of the Veteran Golfers on the first day of their Tournament and was also available to be used at their cocktail party on Monday evening. The old furniture has now all been sold and removed from the Clubhouse, thank you to all who assisted with the sale of these items. Special thanks to all those who have fund-raised for the Club over the past year to make this acquisition of the furniture possible; 2008 ProAm, Women’s Section, Mid-week Men’s Section, Lumber Jacks, 2008 Veteran’s Golf Tournament and The Wonderful Waikanae Spring Garden Trail. Also the Committee lead by Margaret Thrupp who put a lot of time and effort into identifying the requirements for the furniture and assessing products from various sources. All members are encouraged to come up into the lounge and make use of our new facilities.

- MELBOURNE CUP TOURNAMENT 2008
  - 6 Nov 2008
  - Waikanae Golf Club
  - Building on previous years of experience, the organising committee comprising Stu McLaren (as always supported by Jane), Grant Waterhouse, Barry Lee, Blair Coburn and Paul Charlesworth, created an extravaganza unrivaled on the Kapiti Coast. This year the event included an all day free BBQ (kindly sponsored by Tegal Chicken) and an outside bar (subsidised by DB Breweries) both manned by Stu McLaren. The 14th hole had a “triple your money” opportunity fot those fancying their ability - thanks to Brian Futter. A new innovation this year was a live TAB terminal in the clubhouse - kindly supplied and skillfully manned by the one and only Gary “I REALLY MUST GO HOME” Mabey. Thanks again Chopper!!! Once again Barry Lee organised a very successful sweepstake in conjunction with the Big Race! The main winners being Chris Turner, The Fourskins syndicate and House. Courtesy of PANASONIC and in conjunction with HARVEY NORMAN Coastlands Branch, we were able to showcase a ‘top of the line’ overhead projection unit to provide fullscale race coverage all day! It is with great pride that the organising committee can announce that due to the financial success of the day, this high tech unit is to be purchased and will become a permanent feature of the lounge, to enable vastly improved coverage of future sporting events. Many thanks to ALL who contributed and supported this fine event.

  - The Wonderful Waikanae Spring Garden Trail was successfully held on Sunday the 2nd of November. The weather was threatening on the Saturday, but cleared up for a fantastic day on the Sunday, to allow the viewing of some truly wonderful gardens. It was great to see so many of our members doing the rounds and visiting the gardens. All the gardens were extremely well prepared and presented, and comments received from people viewing these gardens was extremely complimentary.
