On 21 March, rain dampened the plans for our annual hīkoi to the Woodstock Domain for our picnic and sports day.

Instead those who had not been put off by the weather grabbed their togs and towels and joined us at the Hokitika Centennial Pool.

It was a much smaller group than usual, but everyone still enjoyed the chance to catch up, have a kai and swim.
