MOTORING with Jerry Clayton BMW
Celebrating the Vision for Auckland’s Waterfront
On Friday November 11th, Steve Hilson, Jerry Clayton BMW Dealer Principal, hosted a lunch at The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.
Guest speaker Bob Harvey, Chairman of Waterfront Auckland, took guests though his vision and passion for Auckland’s Waterfront. Of the many projects and stages presented, the one Channel readers will be pleased to hear of is Harvey’s passion for ferries and the development of a blue highway throughout the Gulf.
Hilson’s guests, Dave Donaldson and Peter White of the Takapuna Beach Business Association, did the Shore proud during the robust Q&A forum, inviting Bob Harvey and Waterfront Auckland to Takapuna to see the North side vision for the future.
A Week of Golf
With two golfing events in one week, the staff had their work/play time cut-out for them.
After a 10 year break from the course Steve Hilson hoped to hold his own on the course.
On Monday November 14th Steve’s practice run (at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron Golf Tournament, in association with Jerry Clayton BMW) at Royal Auckland Golf Club was great for preparation but not so good for the ego, coming in last on the day.
The following Thursday saw the Jerry Clayton BMW Golf Cup held at the North Shore Golf Club.
Steve began to take the course in his stride, focusing on hosting his guests rather than the odd birdie. After a full day on the course guests enjoyed dinner at the Club.
Six Winners of the golf cup Neville Jones, Leo Han, Jimmy Wong, Andrew Robertson, Shirley Tan and Sue Robertson have been invited to play in the BMW New Zealand Golf Open final in December at the Clearwater Golf Course in Christchurch.
