Last month was extremely busy (not to mention fun!) with Neighbours’ Day events in Castor Bay and Forrest Hill; Charlie’s Play Date; the Primary School Beach Clean Up Day, Summer Fun preschool play, Families in Parks, Milford’s French Market and Takapuna’s Easter Carnival.
We love being out in the community, meeting people and hearing about the things that you are interested in. There are so many wonderful community groups and activities happening that we’ve decided to set up a Facebook Group for the area so that you can be kept up to date with what’s happening and share your own community events as well. If you are keen on joining the group, search “Hauraki, Takapuna, Milford, Forrest Hill, Castor Bay & Sunnynook residents” on Facebook, or type www.facebook.com/groups/TakapunaNorth/
