Tuesday 9th September 2025 2pm at the Community Centre 100 St Heliers Bay Rd.
Today our speaker is Mike Moran, a forensic handwriting specialist.
He is one of two private examiners in New Zealand . He asks us each to bring a pen,
so maybe we will see what our handwriting tells about ourselves.
Tuesday 16th September. Visit the Tulip Festival at Eden Gardens. This year the display will be spectacular as large areas have been planted. Cost $8 at the gate The plan is to arrive at 10 am for parking and morning tea before looking around the gardens. I will arrange carpooling, so please sign the trip book and meet me at the back table while Diane gets afternoon tea ready. Because parking is limited, we need to cut down the number of cars going. Don’t forget to help your driver with car running expenses.
Tuesday 23rd September 10:30 Coffee at The Terraces, St Andrews village.
Tuesday 30th September Movie If there is an interesting movie I will send out an email with the information.
Diva Exhibition last month was enjoyed by those who went. We recommend going. It finishes mid October. The history of the rise of woman singers, dancers and movie stars in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s is fascinating. These ladies were forerunners of the feminist movement, taking over their management in male dominated areas. The early Hollywood stars had to fight the studios for control of their own careers. The exhibition is much more than lovely gowns. There is a copy of the original Beverly Hills development, showing the stylised representation of the female form favoured at the time.
Art in the Park This annual exhibition may be of interest to some of our members. 18th to 21st September at Eden Park. A curated show of work of some of NZ’s best artists. There is a seniors morning on Friday 19th at $10 pp. other sessions are $19 Tickets from Ticketmaster.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday Lorna
