  • Quiz Night - THANK YOU to our guests and to our sponsors.

      10 April 2017

    Friday night QUIZ NIGHT was a great night - loads of organisation and generous sponsors meant the evening ran smoothly and everyone had a great time.

    I have added some photos of the night and also Wayne Gosling of IXL Appliances with Darroch and Padraig who donated a $1,699 iRobot vacuum cleaner for auction. How much we wanted to bid on that too... but we were there to fundraise!

    Other BIG auctions were the snorkelling trip to Goat Island and the accommodation package to Omori in the central North Island.

    We so appreciate our sponsors.

    Our business sponsors on the night were:

    - Chesters Plumbing

    - Corporate Traveller

    - Hobsonville Kitchen and Eatery (Joe was also our wonderful Bar Manager for the night)

    - Stewart Island Salmon

    - Inspire Films (who made our video)

    - Compass Homes, Kumeu

    - PLUS Finance

    - Harvey Norman

    - IXL Appliances

    - Addit Embroidery (for the gorgeous boy's uniforms)

    - Terry & Janet Jones - Bayleys Real Estate

    - Flame Pizza, Hobsonville

    - Waimarie Wines

    - Vinoptima Wines

    - Mortgage Supply Company

    - Belvedere Law

    And finally a big thanks to Kim Robinson of FaceUp for being our accomplished MC and auctioneer for the night.

  • Breakfast meetings and Farmers Market

      22 February 2017

    Each Tuesday at 7.30am the boys get together with the dads for a breakfast meeting to work on the building progress. Sometimes it is planning the next stage and sometimes it is building the robot. This was week 3 and they discussed and planned the attachments they would need.

    On Sunday we had a stall at our local Farmers Market selling lemonade, chocolate chip cookies, Malaysian curry and biscuits as well as ginger loaf. A big thank you to those wonderful people who supported us.

    Have a look at the Gallery and you will see how committed the boys are to the project. Enjoy
