Lincoln Event Centre
Booking is required, a $5 ticket allows entry for up to 4 people, including caregivers.

The Lincoln High School Sustainability Council have devised over 10 craft activities and simple science experiments for our annual KidsFest Event. This year children are invited to explore the coast through hands-on interactive crafts and science activities. They will learn about the life to be found on our beaches and rock pools and their importance to us. This craft morning is truly a community experience with the older students getting as much out of it through their organising and mentoring as the younger ones doing the activities and the learning.

Covid update - National figures

Gordon from Halswell

Revised from today's earlier post as the figures did not look correct but were.
The picture does look bleak as National cases have skyrocketed from 4778 to 8943. nearly double last week
Canterbury has followed that trend with a rise from 763 to 1250.
I would say if it rises or even continues to stay at this level, this is a serious situation
All the recommendations for vaccination and safeguards should be in place.
Masks for the vulnerable would not go amiss in crowds

Stay aware and safe folks.
