Auckland Secondary School Rogaine Champs

Hey Guys,
The letter that was handed out from school was originally wrong. It had the wrong date and cost on it. I am so sorry for any inconvience this may have caused. Please read below:

Dear Parent/Caregiver

Taking place on 25^th September is the Auckland Secondary School Rogaine Champs at Shakespear Regional Park in Auckland.

This is a three hour event where students race in pairs collecting as many checkpoints as they can find within the timeframe.  This is another fantastic experience for our squad as they prepare for other events that take place over the summer season.

The cost of this trip is $30.00 ($10.00 entry fee and $20.00 for petrol donation) which is payable to the Whangarei Girls’ High School front office by Tuesday 17^th September.  Gear lists will be posted on the blog page the week before the event.  www.warts2warts.blogspot.com . 

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me on 0274243582.  I will also be requiring parents to assist with transport, for which you will receive a donation towards petrol and not have to pay the cost of your child’s donation of $20.00. You also have the benefit of the anxious wait and pacing that comes with seeing your child finish.  Please note down how many passengers you can have in your vehicle.

If you have already paid at the office, you will need to pay the difference.

Parihaka MTB Park

Hey Guys and Gals,
This weekend on Sunday is the Parahaka MTB Club working bee, which is taking place at Parihaka MTB Park (Abbey Caves Rd). I would really appreciate it if people could attend it for an hour to help give back to the club that creates alot of the MTB tracks we cycle on. IT starts at 9am, and they ask that you bring your own tools, gloves, and sturdy boots, however they have got some there. BBQ afterwards.
