Hiya. Yes it's the weekend again! And we were so busy with all the other news yesterday that we forgot to tell you what's on in our wonderful District this weekend. Here's a quick rundown of a couple of things you can do.
The third annual Jafa & Jandals Fest out west is coming to an end this weekend. Kumeu has a fantastic time with this festival with lots of businesses and organisations getting into the spirit of things (including the local library although we are still waiting for photos from them). The windup events this weekend are:
Sunday 30 March
• Beach Dig & Jandal Throwing Contest at Southern End of Muriwai Beach. 10am - 12pm.
• The Kumeu Club Open Fishing Tournament. Weigh-in and Prize giving is at 4pm.
Hibiscus Coast Soap Box Derby and Family Fun Day
Saturday 29 March at Pinecrest Ave, Gulf Harbour
Racing starts at 9am and continues throughout the day. Organised by ROTARY
Thundercat Racing
Saturday 29 March Orewa Beach (south of the Surf Club)
Thundercat racing is a high adrenalin, high action sport with explosive wave jumping and tight competitive surf racing in a tunnel hulled inflatable boat. Racing Starts at 11am.
The Gondoliers
Centrestage Theatre, Orewa 29 March – 12 April
A popular Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Information and bookings from the theatre: Ph 09 426 7278

Earth Hour
Saturday 29 March at 8 pm
WWF (World Wildlife Fund for Nature) has invited all New Zealanders to participate by dimming or switching off their lights at 8pm tonight for one hour to raise awareness about global warming. Most time zones around the world will also have cities and communities doing the same.
Meanwhile, after a full weekend of netball in Whangarei over Easter at the Aotearoa Maori netball tournament (I was one of the Ngati Pakeha tribe), and another one planned for next weekend in Rotorua, this librarian is planning a netball-free weekend to catchup with family. Whatever you are doing, making it a good one.
Kia pai (Take it easy)
