2017 Programme

The year is coming to a close, but we have already been looking to 2017 and have put a great programme in place for you all.  For those who were not at the final meeting to grab a paper copy, you can access the digital version of the programme here.
On the Programme page you will see a link to download a PDF copy or you can view the events in the google calendar.  It is also possible to add the DPS calendar to your own google calendar by clicking the “+ Google Calendar” button at bottom right of the calendar.
Until 2017, have a safe and merry Christmas!

Field Trip: April 10th

Our next field trip will be held on Sunday 10th April.  We will be heading to Oamaru and Clarks Mill.  There is a $10 entry charge for Clarks Mill.
We will meet at 8.30am at the Railway Station carpark and sort out carpooling from there.  We will head to Oamaru first for a wander around the old part of town and then after lunch visit Clarks Mill.
Please indicate to the Field Trip Coordinator (via email: fieldtrips.DPSNZ@gmail.com) if you intend to come along.
