Hi Everyone
I hear that the Wednesday Walkers had a well-attended and fun Christmas lunch on Wednesday at Simmer! Join them tonight for drinks at Simmer from 5.30pm.
LOCAL JOB: Good with kids and a bit creative? We’re lucky to have Brain Bunny Creative Writing back with us in 2015 for school holidays and new term time classes. As this great little business grows, they now need to take on extra staff – specifically to run the Churton Park classes. Check out the job vacancy here: http://brainbunny.co.nz/index.

Our intrepid Buggy Walkers walk every Monday morning during term time. Meet at CPCC at 10am. For more information, check out their Facebook page here.
