Showcase day for local clubs and groups

The diverse range of clubs, groups and organisations in the area will come under the spotlight at a special event organised by Warkworth Library on Friday, July 26.

The Groups & Clubs Information Day will take place at the Old Masonic Hall, next to the library in Baxter Street, from 10am until 4pm. Senior library assistant for community engagement Katie Mitchell says there is a huge variety of local groups in Warkworth and the surrounding area, covering a wide range of interests and activities, from sports and hobbies to environmental and community causes.

“Many of these clubs and groups have been established for years and they are keen to pass on their skills and knowledge to potential new members,” she says. “With so many people moving into the area, we thought it would be good to showcase what’s going on and what there is available.”

The information day is free to clubs that would like to promote their activities and also to visitors. Anyone wishing to know more or to take part should email Katherine.mitchell@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
