We are looking for people to volunteer to help out in the kitchen on club nights. Julie will be getting things ready so you don’t have to come early. There will be rubber gloves for serving drinks and food etc and collecting cups after the supper. If you can help there will be a sheet at the meeting where you can put your name, contact details and which evenings you can help on.
For those who are not ready to come out to a meeting the evening will be live streamed and you can find the link to watch the club night here.

Astro shoot - Ashworths Beach 7.30pm
2020-07-25 19:30 - 23:30
What you need to know:

Date: Saturday 25th July

Time: 7.30pm

Place: Ashworths Beach – meet in the car park.

It will take about 15 – 18 minutes to drive there. Head towards Amberley and take a right on to Ashworths Beach Road about 9km north of Waikuku. If you get to Pukeko Junction you have gone too far

If anyone is needing a ride I (Tabitha if you don’t know who writes these) will have a couple of spare seats. Hit me up at a meeting on Tuesday or flick me a text 021 235 2334

What to bring: Camera, wide-angle lens, sturdy tripod, trigger (if you don’t have a trigger then your camera’s timer will do fine) lots of warm clothes, and a head torch with red light

A red light helps with night vision. If you don’t have a head torch with a red light then some red cellophane over the torch or clear tape with red marker pen works also. Check out youtube for more ideas

Cancellation: if for some reason we do need to cancel again (weather not right) this will be posted on the website and an email will be sent on the day
