The dates for this year’s 49th Kowhai Festival have been finalised. The festival movie night will be held on Friday October 26, followed by the Huge Day Out on the following day, October 27. The Great Debate will be held on November 2. The theme for the festival is still being finalised. The organising committee held its annual meeting on March 20, where Murray Chapman was re-elected chair and Diane Hopgood secretary. The committee is keen to recruit a treasurer following the retirement of Ray Harrison. Meanwhile, a sub-committee, led by Dave Parker, has been set up to start work on the 50th anniversary festival next year.
