Kia Ora all families and friends,

We are looking forward to another exciting year.

We also just want to let you know about Round the Bays 2021.

This iconic Wellington event is back on again this year 😊 and is set for Feb 21st February.

This is an event that I (Nardia) have volunteered for over the past 6 years and this year we are excited to supporting this event by opening our doors to act as a family pit stop for participants & volunteers. It is also a great venue to cheer on all the participants as they head around the course.
If you, family members or friends are participating please let them know that if they need a place to stop – have a drink of water, change a child’s nappy or just a breather we will be here manning the fort. For more information about this event please use this link:
