Wonder what's in store for our upcoming Antarctica experience in Wakefield June 26th? Let's see what others had to say... And don't forget to book. https://www.waimeasouth.org.nz/events/

A capacity audience enjoyed Roger Lusby’s enthralling two-hour presentation of “40 Years Below” at the Mapua Boat Club on Thursday May 14.
Featuring photographs, stories, original songs, poems and plenty of humour, it was Roger’s reflection of his time wintering over at Scott Base, Antarctica, as a base mechanic as part of DSIR Antarctica program from 1969-70.
His storytelling, singing and poems brought to life for the audience, that year of extraordinary isolation, brutal conditions, and rare beauty.
Roger also wove Ernest Shackleton’s story of incredible survival and courage into this one-man show.

Check out where we will be in the Wakefield community. View our upcoming events.

Media release

The Tasman District Council's decision to pause and defer the Wakefield Hub Project until the Long Term Plan deliberations later in the year is extremely disappointing for the Wakefield community.
Council’s decision does not change the fact that Wakefield urgently needs a fit-for-purpose community facility. Neither does it change the reality that Wakefield is long overdue for Council investment.
Community engagement and fundraising clearly endorse the need for the hub.
The Wakefield Hub Steering Committee, Wakefield Community Council and our local partners will continue to work with Council staff and elected members to move the project forward. We assure the community that this project is still very much alive and we are confident that whilst the decision to ‘pause and defer’ obviously affects the project timeframe, it does not change our passion and drive to make the Wakefield Community Hub a reality.
