Anzac Day

Anzac Day

There are opportunities across the motu for the public to come together to mark Anzac Day this year.

National Anzac Day events include the Dawn Service at 6.00am and the National Commemorative Service at 11.00am (both at Pukeahu National War Memorial Park, Wellington), and the Atatürk Memorial Service at 2.30pm in Strathmore, Wellington. The Dawn Service and National Commemorative Service will be broadcast live by TVNZ 1 and RNZ National.

For those wanting to join the Anzac Day parade at the Dawn Service, veterans are asked to assemble on Tasman Street by 5.30am.

The Atatürk Memorial Service in Strathmore will include a wreath-laying ceremony. A shuttle service will be running from Bowes Crescent carpark to the memorial site for anyone who may require assistance accessing the site.

For more information about Anzac Day, visit the Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage website or see the Pukeahu National War Memorial Park Facebook page.

Save Te Horo Hall fundraiser

Julie from Otaki District

I am running a scavenger/treasure hunt, car rally event on 26th May to raise funds for the refurbishments needed to make the Te Horo Community Hall earthquake resilient.
Directions are given to follow a route and clues to identify markers along the way. There will also be a list of items to collect along the route.
This is intended as a family activity, although not exclusive; a group of friends would have equally as much fun. The cost is $40 per car; all funds go to the cause.
It would be really helpful to get an idea of numbers interested in this event. Please let me know, no commitment required, if this is of interest to you.

Missing Playgroup Slide

Kate Neighbourly Lead from Raumati Beach

Missing! Our playgroup slide! The slide belongs to the Kapiti Uniting Parish, Raumati Church at 10 Weka Road, Raumati Beach. The last time it went missing it was found at Weka Park. Have you seen it? Or if you have taken it by accident, can you please return it. The preschoolers missed it this morning. Thank you!
