Because of the bad weather here Kapiti Brass Band has had to pull out of its participation in Strawberry Festival in Paraparaumu this morning. Rain and band gear to not go together well, especially the drums

So we will not be playing at 9:30 but we understand that the rest of the festival will continue, and I am sure it will be most enjoyable and well attended.

You may have noticed we're working on the Raumati South Memorial Hall in Tennis Court Road.
We're giving the hall a new roof, repairing the foundations and building a retaining wall to protect the back of the hall from the bank along Tennis Court Road Reserve. Inside, a fresh lick of paint and new flooring will finish the project.
As a heritage building, we're replacing the beautiful matai floorboards with like for like. We have experienced some delays sourcing this product, but hope to complete our works by the end of February 2023.
