Rugby The next Otamatea Hawks match is this Saturday March 29 at the Kaiwaka Sports Complex against Waipu. The Reserves will take the field at 12.30pm and premiers will kick off at 2.15pm. Feel free to come along to show your support for the Hawks! Badminton Badminton club will hold their AGM on Tuesday April 1, at 8pm in the gymnasium. All welcome. Bookings If you would like to book the sports complex for a private function and have the bar open, I need to apply for a Special Licence. The time the KDC takes to process this has now been extended to 6 weeks, so if you would like to book an event where alcohol will be served, you need to give me at least six weeks notice. A Special Licence will only be granted for an event where substantial food will be supplied to the guests – a full meal, not just nibbles and snacks. This is something to keep in mind before you book an event with us. For any questions on licensing requirements, please ring me on 431 2051. Emergency accessway Please note that the gate in our carpark which leads onto the field (next to the swimming pool) is our emergency accessway for ambulances. There have been two occasions recently where a car was parked in front of this gate blocking access to the fields, and on both occasions, an ambulance was required. Please keep this gate clear.
