Manawatu Women’s Group celebrates its 30th birthday!

The fine women of the Manawatu Women’s Group celebrate their 30th birthday, and tell stories about their time in the Women's group. Games, cake-cutting, photo montages up for viewing and lots of reminiscing, before the ladies head out for a well-attended dinner at a restaurant open to all, even the men!

Stool “Talks” to Deaf Yoga Class

When Miss Fay Fenton, who practices at Mt Roskill began teaching Hatha Yoga at the Mt Eden Deaf Welfare Centre, she had to find her own way of expression. Sign language and lipreading were no good when the audience was lying on its back starting at the ceiling, so I had to find some other way to pass on my instructions.
