From midnight the 31 August Auckland reduces to Alert Level 2. This means The Birkenhead RSA will re-open under Level Two Alert status 11am Monday morning 31/8/2020 with the following restrictions:
* Limits on "mass gathering" will be in place meaning groups

of no more than 10 (with the exception of funerals)

* Groups or bubbles limited to maximum of 10

* Maximum of 100 people allowed on the premises

(In our case 100 upstairs and 100 downstairs)

* Social distancing in place

* Table Service in place

* CONTACT TRACING to be adhered to either using your

mobile with the NZ Covid19 app, or signing the contact

tracing register. I am aware that some members believe the

contact tracing requirements are onorous, but they are in

place for a good reason and have proven their worth during

the last two weeks! The Health and Safety of fellow

members should be a priority for us all!

A review on the Alert Level Status for the rest of NZ will be made on the 6th September 2020. There is no indication when a review on Auckland Level 2 will be considered. I believe we have to work with Level two being in place for sometime from next Monday the 31st.

Regretably the dance floor will be closed until further notice, but I will look to arrange some live entertainment starting as soon as possible!

I will also be seeking further clarification regarding sport section activities allowed under the new Level 2, and posting updates as soon as possible.

Kind regards and as always please do not hesitate to contact me in the office (09 418 2424) during the week or on my mobile 021433973 at anytime. Also, if you know of any member who could use some support - please contact me!

Hi neighbours!

New Zealanders from farms, factories and schools around the country are showcasing messages of support for Aucklanders trapped in lockdown.

The initiative is being driven by Kia Kaha Auckland, a group aiming to support communities and regions who continue to be disadvantaged by the impacts of Covid-19.

Group spokesperson Lee Astridge said it was a way to show Auckland the rest of the country was thinking of them and wishing them strength in adversity.

“We’re a bunch of rural people who believe that stepping up and showing we care for everyone in New Zealand ultimately gives the country the best chance to thrive,” he said.

Here’s a clip of some of the messages, let us know what you think in the comments!

Auckland Museum is calling on the public submit personal messages they have received in their life about love, loss and longing.

Letters, texts, postcards and even Tinder messages Aucklanders have sent to one another will be compiled into an upcoming exhibition in mid-2021.

Auckland Museum spokesperson Nina Finigan said the exhibition will explore the ways Aucklanders communicate feelings of love, loss, and longing, and how that has changed and stayed the same over time.

“Love, loss and longing – these feelings are universal and reveal something profound about what it means to be human,” she said.

“How we communicate these emotions continues to evolve but our need to tell people we love and miss them is timeless.”

Submissions can be anything from a love letter physically received in the mail, an email from a friend overseas, an affectionate card from a family member or messages from a Tinder profile.

They can focus on love lost in the form of a breakup message, a letter from someone disclosing profound grief, or a letter that takes on new meaning after the sender has passed away.

Family stories where letters or messages played a key part, or letters that have been passed down in your family, are also welcomed for submission.

"We acknowledge that such messages are highly personal. We are committed to ethical use and display of personal stories and will work alongside submitters to ensure their stories are treated with care, sensitivity and respect,” Finigan said.

To submit items for consideration please send a photo, scan or screen grab of the letter, email or message history to submissions@aucklandmuseum.com

Submissions close Sunday 13 September.
