A Grimsby Boy

Nick began with a brief overview of his early years growing up and working in Grimsby with reference to the the many establishments that are now no-longer.   After emigrating to Aukland, New Zealand, Nick became an active member of the Pakuranga Rotary Club.

Pakuranga Rotary Club

The club has several female members and Nick claims that these give much of the driving force behind the Club.  Membership features multiple ethnic groups representing the extent of the geographical region which includes Pacific islands such as Fiji.  Young people and local businesses play a big part in supporting the Club's activities.

Charitable Activities

Help in providing dictionaries, atlases and reading books plus the provision of a prefabricated mothers' and children's (Whanau) room has benefitted the local schools and the club also provides Christmas presents for refugee children.  The club has also provided emergency response kits (ERKS) in response to situations that have occured on the nearly islands.

Community

From time to time the Club engages their 'Working Bee' team to clear derelict land and plant trees for the benefit of the local people.  An annual fishing event using 'comandeered' boats in the sheltered waters of Aukland raises the majority of the charity funds and is enjoyed by all.
