The ‘Panorama of Raglan calendar 2017’ is now in the Bookshop, Whaingaroa Organic Kai and Bow St Gallery. The price is still $15, as it was when the 2009 calendar started off the publication.
The calendar is again full of photos of Raglan from various angles and of the countryside around, most taken by Raglan Ramblers on their weekly walks.
Each year the calendar helps the Friends of Wainui Reserve fund their work at the reserve. Friends of Wainui was formed in 1993, mainly by members of Raglan Ramblers (formed in 1991). Both offer free membership and welcome new participants. Friends of Wainui has work mornings on the second and fourth Monday of the month from 9am. Raglan Ramblers walks usually start at 9am on Wednesdays from the carpark beside the Fire Station.
Friends of Wainui has planted a bit over 10 hectares of the 140 hectare council reserve with about 15,000 trees. Work is now mainly keeping tracks clear and weeds and pests under control – ring 825 7866 if you’d like to help.
