Sunday 11 December, 43 Pehi Kupa Street, Waikanae, 3.00 pm

10/12/2022 – please see below for a COVID update.

This year’s Christmas Party is at a lovely venue at the end of Pehi Kupa Street, Waikanae, across a bridge on the eastern side of the railway tracks. It is about 700 metres walk north from Waikanae train station and there is plenty of off-street parking at the end of the drive. Please see the map in the Balladeer if you need more directions.

What To Bring

Please bring a plate of food for supper, a bottle of what you like to drink, and of course instruments and songs. We ask that you give a Koha, which will be donated to Atareira Mental Health Support in time for Christmas. Disposable plates etc. will be provided but those of you who have picnic sets could bring them too, to help reduce the waste. Sorry no dogs.

We warmly invite you, your family and any like-minded and/or musical friends.

Update 10/12/2022:  Unfortunately, COVID is making the rounds of some of our folkie whānau and we’re sad that those affected won’t be able to attend the Christmas Party this year. We hope that anyone who is symptomatic or who has tested positive for COVID will also stay home to protect the folk community. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you there and, fingers crossed, the sun will come along as well!

Wishing those who are unwell a speedy recovery, and Merry Christmas to all from the Acoustic Routes Committee
