FROM TCDC:

New roof and ceiling 21/22 $29,000
Wall linings 21/22 $11,000
Bathrooms 21/22 $5,000
Total: $45,000Board member Tamzin Letele was appointed as the Board Liaison Representative once the new incorporated society is formed and a report will be brought back to the Board by 31 March 2022 . “
A BIT OF HISTORY:
The Opoutere Community Hall is a popular venue for local events such as public meetings and community group gatherings. It is in demand for private functions such as weddings, birthdays and commemorations.
The hall is also used as a welcome refuge for flooded-out campers!
Every New Year the famous Opoutere Social takes place at the hall. Locals and visitors alike don their best holiday clothes, grab a bottle of wine and a plate to share and congregate at the hall for early evening petanque and conversation under the beautiful redwood trees. As the evening progresses the band warms up the crowd and the monte carlo dance is hotly contested.
