Te Kowhai News July issue out now
Hi everyone
A very special edition is attached featuring an interview with the 100 year old Nancy Marwood.
As always, Graham McBridge shares insights into local history with his two-page article. Shirliey Warner writes up on the recent Old Boys and Old Girls Reunion, and the new, Te Kowhai Taniwhas rugby team smashes every game so far.
If you haven't been to the new Saints Cafe in Te Kowhai, it's worth popping in. Even if it's just for the coffee and architecture.
Enjoy!
