Auckland Deaf Adult Society’s annual picnic takes place north of Orewa beach, attended by many members. At Orewa, there are many different activities, such as beach golf, building sandcastles and sack races, and lots of talking and catching up with each other. The picnic was recorded as being one of two successful functions of the year, with the other being a Fancy Dress social evening held at the Community Sunshine Association, Nelson Street, Auckland City.
