Our speaker this week was Chris Sattler, the CEO of the Company operating float planes from the Auckland Harbour.
Chris has an interesting background, born in Germany, has served in the German Airforce, travelled extensively and indeed visited over 100 countries. He is now a NZ citizen and also a member of the Auckland Rotary Club.
In 1983, Past District Governor Noel Holyoake initiated an intellectual challenge involving young people from the three secondary schools in the Pakuranga area – Edgewater College, Pakuranga College and St. Kentigern College.
Every year since then teams from two of the schools lock verbal horns in the annual Holyoake Debate, an event always eagerly anticipated and invariably enjoyed by appreciative Rotarians, parents and guests.
On Monday, cup-holders St. Kentigern College are being challenged by Pakuranga College. Don’t miss this highlight of the Rotary year and bring family and friends.
This year the challengers for the Holyoake Cup are Pakuranga and St Kentigern’s College.
This Monday promises to be a most entertaining evening with adjudicators Geoff and Jeanette Roberts and the moot in the experienced hands of Peter Woodcock.
Everyone is welcome on Monday to catch a glimpse of our future orators.
