Black Cat - Botany Road (past the Golf Club entrance)

Sandy from Dannemora

Sadly someone’s black cat has been knocked down in Botany Road. As I drove past I saw that someone has placed it on the grass verge past the Golf Club entrance (towards the new building area) if someone is looking for their pet. Sorry for your loss.

While the rest of New Zealand is now set at COVID-19 Alert Level 1, yesterday's COVID-19 Alert Level 2 decision for Auckland wasn't quite the news we wanted.
While the upper limit for Level 2 mass-gatherings is 100 with 2-metre physical distancing, the All Saints' Community Centre has taken a more cautious approach. They've decided to wait for COVID-19 Alert Level 1 before the hall is made available for use again.
However on the positive side and if all goes to plan, we're only one step away from resuming 'Dance Yourself Happy' at 8pm on Thursday 8 October.
We'll keep you updated.
Kia kaha and keep dancing at home!
