It s an uncertain business but Gioia Damosso and Koert Wegman have no regrets about quitting their full time jobs to become event organisers, launching Lost Arts Events at the beginning of 2020.
It s been quite a ride trying to organise large scale events with Covid in the background. We thought at the beginning, alright this year isn t going to go how we wanted it to, shall we push on ahead shall we just not go down this track, but we re both quite optimistic people, said Damosso.

Vaccination stalls are popping up around the Whanganui region as part of the nationwide measles immunisation campaign.
Immunisation co-ordinators and registered nurses were at the Whanganui River Markets last Saturday to raise awareness about the measles vaccine.
A group of registered nurses, led by Whanganui District Health Board (WDHB) immunisation co-ordinator Bruce Jones and Whanganui Regional Health Network immunisation co-ordinator Sue Hina, hosted a stall at the markets, with information and vaccines available.
