We are sorry to announce that the current situation with Level 3 lockdown looking likely for a while means that we have to delay the drawing of our Mega Raffle. It was due to be held on 1st October at the Bird Barn in Auckland. We will go ahead with the same venue as soon as Auckland goes down to Level 2 and we can hold the draw safely in public. Members and subscribers will be informed via email as soon as we have a new date and this will also be published on the website and here on the Facebook page. We hope you aren’t as disappointed as we are but we’re hoping that the wait won’t be too long and we can get back to business as usual soon. Hayden Van Hooff PSNZ President PS There are a few tickets left over so if you want to take advantage of the delay and increase your chances of winning one of the fabulous prizes or know of someone who would like to be involved please let Heather Flowers know at: flowers@xtra.co.nz
