Steve Woodward from National Road Carriers Racing Club defrauded by employee

Waipa Racing Club is finally making forward progress again under new secretary/manager Blair Thomson after being defrauded of over $160,000 by his predecessor. Lea Margaret Temm, 55, appeared in Te Awamutu District Court on Monday and pleaded guilty to fraud and dishonesty charges, relating to a decade of fulltime employment by Waipa Racing Club. Temm, who now resides in Papamoa and had name suppression until it was lifted on Monday, began part-time work at Waipa Racing Club in the 1980s as a cleaner. After several promotions she became admin- istration manager in 1998, paying wages and authorising club payments. She was promoted again to secretary/mana- ger in March 2000 and began paying herself double, falsifying the wage records. Other falsifications included a wedding pre- sent from the club for then president Richard Otto costing $1100, which he never received and which was found at Temm’s own house, along with a $900 dehumidifier, bought to ‘deal with a moisture problem at the club’. Health problems saw her resign in late 2009 and her successor, Mr Thomson, was asked to examine financial records because the club had been struggling financially. The total amount of misappropriated funds over the 10-year period was $162,172.38. Since Temm left the club has gone from making a loss on race days to a small profit. Temm is due to be sentenced in December.
