Unfortunately due to the closure of the venue the formal dinner has had to be postponed. We anticipate that this will now take place in term three and will we notify everyone when we have a new date and venue.

The committee will retain the money already paid; if this is an issue please contact the committee treasurer Elaine Wilson (kb.ew@xtra.co.nz) to discuss.
