Thames NZ 150th Commemoration FYI
« on: Friday 09 June 17 21:10 BST (UK) »
Many of you will have had ancestors who spent some time at the Thames from the time the Goldfield opened 1st August 1867.
Just passing on for your information that the organisers are updating their events pages. So keep in touch at: http://www.thamesheritage.co.nz/goldfields

There is a big day on the 1st August, people will gather at the Thames Civic Hall for presentations on the 150th Commemorations. But there are Catholic Church and School Reunions, Church of Christ Reunions, Parawai School Reunions. Plus from August on the stamper battery at the Goldmine Experience is going to 'go live.'

There are at least two book launches, photographic displays and the usual heritage week in March 2018.
I am not connected to any of these organisations just passing on the news :)

Bye
Althea
