May 2015 Event – Kiwifruit grading/packing experience, a cob-house tour and an olive grove.

Date – Sunday May 17th 2015

Bring – Your lunch, a coat and suitable footwear

Time – NOTE – 11am 12pm start

Where – Changed*; will now start at:

12.00pm  Matatara Road Wanganui [off ‘the Old Parapara Road] – Clive’s cob-built house where we have lunch then a tour of this uniquely crafted building.

2.00pm  Kaiwhaiki Road Wanganui – Paul & Karen’s established award-winning olive grove and home orchard – for a tour, followed by an olive oil pressing demo and oil tasting session. [vehicle parking amongst the olive trees]

Visitors welcome at all events – unless stated otherwise

* Due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable to be hosted at Cooper 
Coolpac Kiwifruit packhouse on Sunday morning and as a consequence the 
field-day event will _*now*_ commence at *_12 mid-day_ at Matatara 
Road Whanganui* and proceed on as previously planned.

Perhaps this is a fitting opportunity to introduce the *Bring & Buy 
Plant Exchange* concept to our field-day events.....with _all_ returns 
going to branch funds. Members are asked to bring along any 
horticultural material - be it seeds, plants, trees or even related 
produce to Clive Aim's property this Sunday.[12 Noon] Not forgetting 
some spare cash as well.

My apologies for any inconvenience to members but sometimes even the 
best laid plans can go astray.

Thank you.

Kind regards.

Ian Harding
