| Ohura Centenary - Sunday 19th February | |
| The Centenary of the Ohura Church was celebrated on Sunday 19th February. It was a great day. The church, which is the only remaining one in Ohura, was packed with representatives from other places from throughout the upper North Island. The faithful witness of the local congregation is something to celebrate. | |
| Hazel Wilson has shouldered a significant responsibility in holding the ship together over recent years. Well done Hazel. |
