LOGO
Well-known artist Albert McCarthy kindly allowed to use his artwork "Mauri" as our logo. Known affectionately to us as Albi he has been involved our group since our early days and continues to exhibit some of his many art works with us. Now, located in Foxton he organised an exhibition, currently showing, at the Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom' Museum titled Kotahi tonu te Wairua o nga mea katoa.
