Program

A programme of events will be set up in due course. At this stage sorting out exactly what events and what times is in “the jam and pickle stages” (to quote a long past serving priest)!

Possibly something like this,
Fri 28th June Traditional musical evening at hotel
Sat 29th a.m. High Mass,
Re enactment, Maori Welcome, Parade, refreshments, lunch?
Honouring Age Luncheon
Sat evening, frivolity of some kind (Ball - dance? in the Hall)
Sun a.m. Mass, Cemetery Procession,
Mix & Mingle - Hall- refreshments

Fund raising ideas?

If you find a hole in your pocket mend it quickly for digging deeply will be on the agenda for the next three to four years! Fund raising has to be done for all celebrations whether we like it or not. Any suggestions will be listened to with interest.

Suggestions so far include a recipe book of Puhoi recipes (see the comments on my 11th July post), a Bierfest, luncheons, dinners, and maybe a concert.

Days gone by brought forth the cakes and raffles, stalls etc. but those who spent hours pickling onions, making jam for the trading tables have passed on. What do we do now? The oven has grown cold.
