After the rain in late January and February, it has been great to finally be able to enjoy some sunshine and the outdoors.
The beauty of Howick Village is certainly enhanced when the weather behaves!
Now that we are into April, whilst the sunny days continue, the temperature has certainly dropped and daylight saving has come to an end. Winter is around the corner.
Meanwhile, there are some exciting events coming up in the Village this month:
Easter colouring-in competition 5 – 12 years – closing on April 14 – entry forms available at Howick Village Association office and in the market.
All completed entries will be displayed at the market on April 15.
Easter Hunt competition – 5 – 12 years – April 15-22. Two amazing hampers to be won.
Sobhnas Indian Spices – Live cooking demonstration in the market area on Saturday, April 8.
Anzac Sound and Light Tribute – Fencible Park – April 21-23, 7pm-9pm, weather-permitting as it is an outdoor event. This has grown in popularity since inception and has attracted visitors from various parts of Auckland.
RSA Howick Poppy sales. Many Howick businesses will have poppies available for purchase from April 17. Please buy a poppy to support our RSA veterans.
Howick Village businesses will have seen some of the HVA committee delivering printed copies of the ‘Chimes’ over the past couple of months.
It was highlighted that the emailed copies may not be reaching all staff and, at the same time, personal delivery gave the opportunity for interaction with committee members.
Let’s hope the settled weather continues for a while yet.
Cheers,
Gerald Patterson
Deputy Chair
Howick Village Association
