A quick update regarding meetings.
With COVID currently surging through the country, we are intending to continue focussing on smaller outdoor meetups, get-togethers and online meetings.
If there is anything you would do see, hear and photograph let us know and we can get something planned along those lines. Email us at comms@wps.org.nz with your ideas.
Hi all and welcome to 2022.
In terms of planning, we have some ideas and will be communicating those out to everyone once things are more finalised. Keep an eye out on this page as we will have some questions we would like everyone’s feedback on soon
The traffic light system has thrown a bit of a spanner in the works and we are going to make sure that we do everything we can to keep all of our members safe and cater to their level of comfort in socialising and spending time close to others.
