OPAK (Organisations Passionate about Kawau) will be holding their second annual Music in The Gardens event 14 February 2015. Last year this highly enjoyable event raised more than $10,000 which was donated to two organisations which benefit the residents and visitors of Kawau Island. This year,  Kawau Boating Club has been selected as one of the organisations which will benefit from this event. So enjoy a day full of fine music at the Mansion House, then come on over to Kawau Boating Club to enjoy a drink and camaraderie.

Kawau Island Bookworms will hold their annual Christmas luncheon at KBC on 18 December.   At the same time they will unpack all the books from the lending library  and shelve them for future visitors’ pleasure. Please feel free to select a book or two. You are not required to return these books, but it would be appreciated if you would add something interesting from your on- board library.

Fuel may be just a few days later. You wouldn’t believe the regulatory complexity of getting fuel delivered to Kawau! RNZYS and your committee have been working on this for several months and have devoted many hundreds of hours which are only now getting us to a satisfactory...

Saturday The new Kawau Boating Club opened at Mid-day in the historic clubhouse with beautiful still weather, hardly any breeze and warm temperatures.The Bon Accord Anchorage was full, from KBC wharf to the head of the Harbour with picturesque Yachts and launches of yesteryear. The sunny afternoon turned into a warm evening with lovely meals of Steak, Chicken, Salad or chips to suit most tastes and made the more cheery with the fire glowing to match the mood later in the day and evening until closing.Sunday, Regatta day, the weather gods smiled again with a lovely building westerly promising a lively...
