St Brigid's Kapa Haka Festival - Helpers Required
As previously advised Amesbury, led by Amaria, is organising the St Brigid's Kapa Haka Festival this year.
This is a major undertaking with over 1000 people expected to be in attendance. No surprise then that we need many volunteers to ensure the smooth running of the event. We sincerely thank those that have already put their name forward but we still need many more.
If you can help out for even a small part of the day, please fill out this form.
The St Brigid's Annual Kapa Haka Festival is being organised this year by Amesbury and will be held at Onslow College given the large numbers that will be participating.
Apart from general assistance with setting up etc., we are using it as an opportunity to raise as much money as we can to commission someone to design and make Pou for the new building at Amesbury School which is to everyone's benefit.
Touch Rugby - Registrations Open
