While the upper limit for Level 2 mass-gatherings is 100 with 2-metre physical distancing, the All Saints' Community Centre has taken a more cautious approach. They've decided to wait for COVID-19 Alert Level 1 before the hall is made available for use again.
However on the positive side and if all goes to plan, we're only one step away from resuming 'Dance Yourself Happy' at 8pm on Thursday 8 October.
We'll keep you updated.
Kia kaha and keep dancing at home!
We are very sad to announce the cancellation of our Pop-Up Book Fair - Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September at Rangitoto College.
We are so sorry for any disappointment.
As soon as circumstances allow us to re-schedule the Fair, we will let you know!
Thank you

But Domino's says the system helps keep its workers safe and there is no obligation to tip.
The new feature gives customers the option to pay a fixed amount or choose their own tip for their “delivery expert” before completing payment.
The move has been met with outrage on social media where some have said Domino’s should “pay staff properly instead”.
Three white flags will fly from the very top of the Sky Tower this week, to raise awareness about mental health in the construction industry.
SkyCity spokesperson Arron Money said the construction industry has one of the highest rates of suicide in the commercial sector in New Zealand.
… View moreThree white flags will fly from the very top of the Sky Tower this week, to raise awareness about mental health in the construction industry.
SkyCity spokesperson Arron Money said the construction industry has one of the highest rates of suicide in the commercial sector in New Zealand.
“Flying the flags from the top of the Sky Tower is our way of acknowledging the problem and empowering the industry to do something about it. The flags are a visual reminder for workers to stop and have the courage to ask a mate if they are alright,” he said.
Fly the Flag is a campaign created by Mates in Construction - an organisation established to combat the high rate of suicide among construction workers in New Zealand.
As a mark of respect for the families who have lost loved ones to suicide, the Sky Tower will also be lit as large ribbon with colours of orange and gold on September 10 to support World Suicide Prevention Day.
