Reports from Special Interest Groups

Cycling Group March ride

This month our group of 8 cyclists biked from Hagley Park to Northlands on the Northern Line then back to Hagley Park via the Papanui Parallel. Coffee at Meshinos on Rutland St was great, but it was very busy so quite a long wait.
No firm decision was made about next month’s ride but probably one out of town.
We ride on the last Friday of the month, usually meeting at 10am. New members are always welcome.

Family History Group

We have just had our second meeting for this year, and we spent a couple of hours sharing our discoveries and our frustrations. An article from Papers Past has helped solve a family mystery and we reminisced about how much things have changed in our lifetime and how important it is to share these with our children and grandchildren.
