Dear members, friends and families,

Sadly due to our unpredictable weather the Executive Committee has made a late decision to postpone this Sunday’s Annual picnic to Sunday, 26th February.

Unfortunately, we were not able to secure Days Bay as our venue on the 26th. However we have great news and that is we were able to secure Maidstone Park in Upper Hutt.

Our apologies in advance for the inconvenience and hope that the weather closer to the end of this month is a lot more settled for us to proceed.

We look forward to seeing you all on the 26th subject to some much nicer weather.

All the best
Executive Committee
