Community group Our Kerikeri is planning to take over the town's annual Christmas parade as Kerikeri Lions Club — the event's long-time organiser — struggles with falling and ageing membership. A Christmas volunteer workshop will be held at the Procter Library on Cobham Rd from 5pm on May 5 to discuss ideas and from a project group. All welcome; bring a pen and paper and some Christmas spirit.
