Our only meeting this month is a BBQ with the Kapiti Branch on Saturday 25 January from midday. We will be at QEII park picnic area 7 and entry is via Wellington Road, Paekakariki. (access from Paekakariki and you will need to bring everything- even shade and a seat! There is plenty of space and last year was a lovely afternoon. If you can bring a BBQ to cook on (gas only), please do so if you don't have one, I'm sure you can share space on one.
Please join us for an early Christmas Dinner at Yum Yum House in Tawa.
Well reviewed by Group members and close to our normal venue.
