Thanks to everyone who chipped in at the working bee over the weekend – you’re wonderful!

The hall is looking shiny, the floors are squeaky, and even the lounge windows got done. The front garden got cleaned up, weeded, trimmed and looks great.

It's a Working Bee. It's wearing the appropriate head gear.The previously announced Working Bee is coming up this weekend. Below are the details about what we are planning to achieve.
This general clean-up is both in preparation for the Masters Games (February 5 to 8 – Waitangi weekend) and the club season starting in March. The toilets and showers will be profesionally cleaned and aren’t part of this working bee.Afternoon tea will be provided. Bring your gear if you fancy a hit after.Pick up a job you like from the list below and bring the listed tools. Many hands make work light, so we hope you can make it. Thank you in advance for your time!

Any questions, contact Ah-Lek on 027 436 0767 or by email.
