Class locations during centre closure

Where to meet once renovations start

Construction workers looking at building plans

Renovations are likely to begin some time in November. We have inched closer to getting our building consent, with the council satisfied with our responses to the majority of their questions. We're still working through the remaining questions. And we'll be working through an agreement with the builders over the next couple of weeks, too.

Key takeaway: until we confirm a building start date, just keep coming along to classes at Normanby Road.

Once renovations start, regular classes will move to the following locations:

A note on finances

We greatly need your help to cover hall hire costs through until Christmas. Please give dana / koha if you can. Our hall hire costs range from $50 - $100 per session. If everyone gave an extra $5 we'd likely cover our costs.

After Xmas

Keep an eye on our newsletter for updated meeting dates and locations in 2025.
