Postponed International Women's Day rescheduled
Franklin women were not the only ones to be disappointed by the lockdown at the beginning of March, it effected many events.
However all is not lost, even though Franklin was sad not to be able to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 6th, we are rescheduling the event and connecting it with another milestone in the history of NZ and women’s success. Suffrage Day is Sept 19 and our celebration will be combined with this day but we will celebrate it on Saturday Sept 18th at the Pukekohe Cosmopolitan Club, SO PLEASE SAVE the DATE.
The programme will remain much the same as it was going to be on March 6th . There was so much enthusiasm at the rehearsal the week before the IWD celebration and I know we will have that in buckets full in Sept.
The tickets purchased for IWD will be honoured for September 18th. However if a refund is required please make the request to bpwfranklin.tickets@gmail.com and please provide the bank account number so direct credits can be made. All the people working on this are volunteers so please be patient as there may be some delay in getting the refunds sorted.
We look forward to your continued enthusiasm and support for this event.
Remember to SAVE THE DATE Sept 18th
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
