A lovely BPW Franklin meeting this week. Presentation to our bursary winner Dahnie Skelling who attended with her family. All very proud of her, with good reason. We are very sad that Rachael Speedy is stepping back, what an asset she has been
Also had other awards and our AGM with Sally Sanderson stepping down and Helen Baucke our new President.
Many thanks to Sally who stepped into the Presidents shoes with very little warning and took it all in her stride with aplomb, when she hadn't even been a member for very long. Amazing woman.

Auckland Emergency Services are asking people to stay away from West Coast beach communities which are trying to recover from last week’s storm.

What you need to know:
- The affected beaches are Piha, Karekare, Bethells, Muriwai, Huia and Little Huia
- The beaches have been closed to non-residents only
- The closures are for safety and to ensure road repairs can take place

“While there is road access into Piha, it’s limited and we’re asking people not to go to Piha to go surfing or picnicking, I know we may have a fine weekend coming up but to stay away out of respect for those communities,” Duty controller Mace Ward says.

If you are wanting to check swimming conditions in other areas of Auckland, check the SwimSafe site.
