Celebrate Matariki in Ohariu!
Pop into St Francis of Assisi Church (37 Dr Taylor Terrace, Johnsonville) this Saturday (14 June) to mark this special time.
There’ll be a pot-luck dinner at 6:30pm. At 7:30pm Antony Gomez – Aotearoa New Zealand’s National Outreach Coordinator for the International Astronomical Union’s Office for Astronomy Outreach and the Director of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand Astronomy Outreach Section – will speak on the universe, creation and the environment. Then, at 8:30pm, there’ll be hot drinks. To finish, there may be an opportunity to view some stars in telescopes (if weather permits).
Everyone is welcome. Bring a plate for the pot-luck (something easy, that doesn’t require heating up), warm clothes, a blanket, gloves, etc, and we hope to see you there!
For more information, please contact Robert McClean on 0220676655 or at mccleanrobert@gmail.com.
Nau mai haere mai! Whakauru tātou i te kotahi i tēnei takurua!
