There is an exciting line-up of activities and speakers this year, including getting out into the field. So bring your walking shoes!

We are reluctantly selling this beautiful dining table. It's huge, 2.2m long, and easily seats 8. It's also extremely heavy. Unfortunately it won't fit in our new home so it must go. We purchased it from Vast in Wellington 3 years ago for $2000. No dining chairs.
Table is in excellent condition and always very well taken care of. One or two very minor almost unnoticeable scratches (you can only see them if looking from a certain low angle). We have hardly used it, mainly only for Christmas twice, so it really is in good nick.
