Its a great weekend for us all to catch up and rekindle friendships and an opportunity to learn new things and give something back to Papatuanuku.  The Lodge is a fantastic venue for those who haven’t been there before and our hosts are just awesome.  Unfortunately our numbers are limited to 25 places allocated on a first come  basis or should I say first paid basis.
