The Matakana hall has indoor/outdoor spaces - so you can picnic indoors, in the shade or on the grass. If on the grass you might like to bring something to sit on - and of course a sun hat.
North Shore Dance is underway, with the music of Marian Anderson and Max Ketchin. MC Andy Nicol and briefers Audrey Stuckey and Lesley Nicol. Dancers from the length of the region attended from Bay of Islands in the north and Tuakau in the south and most clubs in between.

On the programme was For Yvonne (in memory of Yvonne Gray) devised by Nicky Hawkins who danced the dance with Ian Gray.
Just one more sleep until the North Shore Christmas Dance! It’s your last chance to hear our wonderful musician visitors - Max & Marian 🎶 Date: Saturday 7th December 2024 Time: 7.30pm Location: Takapuna Grammar School (210 Lake Road, Belmont, Auckland) Cost: $20 Dance cribs are saved under list # 1065 in the mobile SCD cribs app. See you there!
