We will need to book and pay in advance, so as a special incentive the first 20 people to buy tickets will be in to win a surprise gift.<br />This is an ideal event to invite friends to.

All made it in very good shape. The trip from Puhoi to Wenderholm took about two hours, the water was calm and the scenery was beautiful. <br />For some of us it was a new challenge, and a stretching of our comfort zones. We were expecting a 1 hour kayak, and on being told it would take at least two hours, there were many whose body language let them down. However, having said that we all finished and all had a great time. The biggest achievment of the day - Ann going kayaking on her 70th birthday.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17522530-114213476453839686?l=www.encounter.org.nz%2Fprime%2Findex.html'/></div>Iannoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17522530.post-1140337208138295542006-02-19T21:11:00.000+13:002006-02-19T21:20:08.690+13:00First Prime Connections for 2006This Saturday we will have Prime Connections at the Factory, Hepburn Road, Glendene.
