Hi Everyone,

Reminder that this Monday will be an Open Evening. We are publicising this in the media and hope interested prospective members will come along to meet club members. Do bring interested friends with you, too.
The evening will start earlier than usual at 7pm.
We will have a barbecue, and tea, coffee and juice will be provided.
We ask members to bring a plate of finger food to share, and BYO if you want wine of beer.
Please bring one favorite print each, to have on display. We will also project the digital show from from last year’s field trip, to share a club activity.
Looking forward to seeing you all next Monday.

I have listed a meet up for the Kapiti Coast Express Day, lots of photo opportunities.

We will be meeting at the Te Roto Drive Entrance, Paraparaumu at 10am, Saturday the 18th February. Please RSVP here https://www.meetup.com/KCPS-Photography-Meetup-Group/events/237664059/

The Mackays to Peka Peka Expressway is nearly ready to open to traffic, so the M2PP team would like to invite you to the Kāpiti Coast ExpressDay – your chance to experience part of the Expressway before it opens to traffic later in February.

Walk or bus 5 kilometres of Expressway between Te Roto Drive in Paraparaumu, or Te Moana Road in Waikanae. Thanks to the generosity of Mana Coach Services (external link) ExpressTours will run from both sites throughout the day.

The ExpressDay route is open to pedestrians and mobility scooters/wheelchairs on one side and tour buses on the other side. People can also choose to try out 5ks of shared pathway alongside the Expressway.

Start your journey at either Te Roto Drive in Paraparaumu for fun and entertainment, or Te Moana Road in Waikanae, for education and expert speakers.

There’ll be something for all tastes at both sites, including Kāpiti food trucks.

GOLD COIN donation.
