Just come and watch, or put your hand up for David to have you be part of the art rendering team. If you want to add to the art make sure you bring a rake, leaf rake or big stick/pole.

This is a 100% free event. Just show up, bring your own refreshments and of course the Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap SunSmart suggested behaviour is highly recommended!

We look forward to seeing you there!

Parents and Grandparents welcome to bring their kids or grandkids, free coffee, tea and bikkies, you are welcome to leave a koha in our box and enjoy an hour out of the house with us at The Rose Centre:

11am December 17 - Judy Lawn

11am December 19 - Norah Wilson reads "My Sweet Girl and the bag of purple balloons".

11am December 20 - Geoff Allen will read his brand new book "The Fairies of Down Under and Other Pākehā Tales"

11am December 21 - we don't have the author of this best seller, but local friend of The Rose Centre Gail Kapa will read the Te Reo version "Paraweta", whilst John Davies from The Rose Centre will read the English, "Poo Bum"!

There is no registration for the events, it's general admission, show up, and if we go over 110 visitors we will just have to apologise...but we think this is a more than manageable number on the grounds of probability! Koha only, donate what you can afford and if that's zero, it's zero. We would like to help you with an activity and we'd love you to help us with our never ending spend but we know the pressure for families at Christmas!

Thanks to Gecko Press we also have one kids book from their lovely lineup to give away each day. It'll be a mystery who will win till the day!
