KIA ORA 2018!

Our Xmas celebration and reflection on the year was held at Objectspace in Ponsonby, who very kindly donated to us the use of their space.

A big thank you goes out to Chow: Hill Architects, who covered the cost of catering the event - once they heard it was to be a 'byo plate' affarir due to low funds after our extremely busy year!

As per our last newsletter of 2017, we indulged ourselves by re-capping on all we have achieved in the year, as we believe it is important to acknowledge the efforts, talents and generosity of all who contribute to 'getting work done.'
