Keep the date free

On March 16 from 9am to noon Te Awamutu Police, Te Awamutu Volunteer   Fire Brigade and St John will host a combined open day.

There are further details to come but we are looking at having static displays to share some of the work we do in our community. We would love to see you there.

Here’s how last week shaped up.
