Tawa Rotary Club will be marking the end of summer with a free afternoon picnic concert at the Grasslees Reserve featuring the Royal New Zealand Air Force Concert and Jive Bombers Bands.

There will also be performances by Tawa College’s Kapa Haka group and Grace Notes barbershop quartet, while Foxtail Events (on behalf of WCC Pārekareka) and Tū Mātau Ora will be providing a fun space for kids offering traditional Māori games and more!

A sausage sizzle will supplement your BYO picnic basket.

Currently Agapanthus is setting seed everywhere and thereby becomes a danger for the environment, as it is actually an invasive weed. Put the seeds in the yellow sacks for kerb collection (remember: only 10% garden waste is allowed in these bags!) or dispose larger amounts at garden waste at the tip. (Do not home compost them!)This would help prevent this plant from settling where it should not be. For further details see the attachment here or our facebook page. Karori Kaitiaki
