This program is FREE and will go for all school weeks in term 3 and 4 missing out the school holidays – for more information see the ACTIVITIES > Kids Club on website.

We had a great time at the mid winter Christmas function and it was great to see a number of new families to the district there with their young children.  Santa had organised presents so all were happy.

Sunday was a busy day with the Church AGM – one resolution passed was that there will be services on the second and fourth Sunday of each month and on the other Sundays there will be Community Fellowships hours to discuss religious topics and issues – more on this later and in the OCN – the once a month Sunday dance group and a group watching the Magic win at last.

More news soon about our web site, business directory and the Kaipaki promotional brochure.

Hello,
 
Holiday Programs went very well again with over 20 children each day attending on
  average.  During that week the children had soccer, rugby, netball,
  volleyball, badminton, hockey, basketball and athletics all in the one
  week!  It is great to see the improvement in coordination and therefore
  application of sporting skills of the regular attendees who are clearly
  enjoying their sporting participation. 

Just  a reminder to all about the mid winter Christmas function this Saturday night
21st – didn’t have one  last year as facility had a hole in the wall but back on the calendar as it is
so popular – hope to see you all there – 5 pm, dinner starts at 6  pm.
 
The second Kaipaki Dance had approximately 40 people there and was enjoyed by those
who attended – will have another Dance end of August.

New Directory coming soon.

I have mentioned in holiday program emails previously how we are trying to train our own sports holiday program leaders so in the future we will have the Kaipaki sports holiday programs run by local people.

This Sunday (short notice but I only learnt about the details today) there is an opportunity for our teenagers to attend a day that will help with the running of our sports holiday programs.  The day is targeted at Waipa people and not just Kaipaki people.

If you can attend please let me know as I need to let Sport Waikato know how many extra people they need to plan for.

Next time there will be more lead in time for you I hope.

Regards

John Parker
