Our trip this Sunday 19 February has had to be postponed until May, because of major issues with the train track - after a slip, they have to rebuild a bridge. The trip was fully booked (20 people) and those members will have priority for the new date, which will be in our next newsletter.
We suggest as an alternative to a KCC trip this weekend that you visit the Kaipatiki Project Open Day. KCC Co-ordinator Margi Keys will be leading bush walks there (With her Kaipatiki hat on!) Details below.
Enjoy the new school year,
