And would like someone to give you a bit of instruction on the water?
Then, the FREE workshop on Saturday 10th October held at Coastguard Northshore on Beachfront Lane, Browns Bay, Auckland 0630 from 9am – 4pm could be a good place to start.

The morning will be interactive sessions and include a chance to look at personal and group gear such as VHF radios and Personal Locator Beacons and the chance to discuss what to do in an emergency. The afternoon will deal with planning and going on a short paddle with a skills clinic.

Bring your lunch, boat and paddling kit. If you have a query or are new or from out of town and don’t have any gear contact Shaun Maclaren on 021 2867412 or shaun@kask.co.nz and he’ll endeavour to help you out with equipment to try.

This is a Kiwi Association of Sea Kayaking (KASK) initiative supported by Safer Boating New Zealand.

Our next Gardening Day is this coming Sunday from 9.00am to 11.00am in Opaketai Beach Haven Garden - 364 Rangatira Road. We have another load of mulch (Thanks to Treescape for this) to be added to the Garden and for the walkway into Beach Haven School off Rangatira Road.
Any mulch left over will be added to the Beach Haven Hall Gardens.

We would dearly love some help to move this mulch and to weed out the Gardens.

Looking forward to seeing you there - bring shovels, buckets, wheelbarrows and hoes, etc 

Cheers
