Nena Rivers says "registrations are marvellous, our village will be full".

However, it is not necessary to register, and it is never too late for interested people to get involved.

The 125th Mamaku Anniversary has been put together by Progress Mamaku Community Hub who have helped organise the weekend in co-ordination with Mamaku School and local historian Lyn Fleet.

"Progress Mamaku Community Hub is a new community initiative with an exciting purpose."

Nena says that the hub aims to provide community support, reconnection and provide a funding umbrella for various groups [who are] existing and developing.
