You may have seen the half-page feature about the club, under this headline, in Monday night’s Wairarapa Times-Age. While we’re always grateful for any positive exposure for the club, there are a few points in this piece that need clarification in the interests of accuracy.
Eric Manson
Our Club Captain is Eric Manson, not Mason as published throughout the article. Our next meeting on December 2 will feature well-known Blues artist Darren Watson, not Warren. The “proprietor” of the Tin Hut who “has been a tower of strength for us” has a name. It’s Marcus Darley. Thanks Marcus.
The club’s co-founder (and past President) is Matt Ginnane, not Gianne. The two “Guitar men” pictured are Stefan Brown and Pat McKenna, not Makenna. The Sunday sessions will start on November 29 (this Sunday), not December 29 (a Tuesday).
Finally, on a personal note, I contributed the three photographs to illustrate the article free of charge in exchange for the standard photographer’s credit line – which I didn’t get.
Heh heh . . . haven’t been called ‘Warren’ for a few footy seasons.
Classic. She obviously paid huge attention to all the press material on hand?
I’ll bet most people think the same way so, in fairness to the reporter concerned, it seems most of this was due to a SNAFU further up the line. It’s probable the sub-editors (in Auckland!) picked up a draft instead of the finished copy, where most of these typos were corrected. Your interview in Monday’s TA (30th Nov) came out fine.
