Auckland Emergency Services are asking people to stay away from West Coast beach communities which are trying to recover from last week’s storm.

What you need to know:
- The affected beaches are Piha, Karekare, Bethells, Muriwai, Huia and Little Huia
- The beaches have been closed to non-residents only
- The closures are for safety and to ensure road repairs can take place

“While there is road access into Piha, it’s limited and we’re asking people not to go to Piha to go surfing or picnicking, I know we may have a fine weekend coming up but to stay away out of respect for those communities,” Duty controller Mace Ward says.

Hello
I am messaging to spread the news of our very popular Howick and Kohimarama art classes especially designed for adults who would like to learn how to get started with the fascinating and absorbing pastime - creating art. Our classes have been running for 3 years in Howick and Kohimarama and hundreds of people have discovered their 'inner artist' and the joy of creativity in that time. Our classes will continue to go forward under the new name of The Village Art Classes (formerly Seasons Art Class Howick). You can join us for the full 15 week course or any of the individual 5 week modules (sketching, watercolours and acrylics). All equipment supplied, just bring yourself and enjoy.

We also offer 1-day (5 hour) workshops. The next workshop is on Thursday 2nd March and will focus on sketching and drawing.

Do phone or email me for more information, I would love to hear from you.
