We have an exciting local event next weekend, the annual Bethells Beach\/Te Henga Community Day January 28 2018.\u00a0 In the spirit of promoting such a wonderful event, there is now a special\u00a0 price on our Rates page for guests who may wish to attend.<\/p>\n

This is a day for everyone to enjoy. Come on down to the local beach domain and join in all the activities in a fun filled day for all the family\/whanau.\u00a0Please remember to bring cash for purchasing raffles tickets and to buy from stalls as there is no EFT POS available.<\/p>\n

Community Day is a not for profit\/self-funded event. Money raised on the day funds the next year\u2019s Day.\u00a0 It is also a fundraising day for the Bethells Volunteer Fire Service and for the\u00a0Bethells Surf Lifesaving Club. Please give generously.<\/p>\n

The Bethells Volunteer Fire Service are kept BUSY out here, (they had 4 callouts in 12 hours recently).\u00a0 They are an amazing group of Volunteers, who also have jobs to go to as well, and yet turn out at all hours.\u00a0 They provide a safety net for all Locals and Visitors and cover fire, accidents and misadventure.\u00a0 This is their only fundraiser.\u00a0 Community Day is not a big earner for them and yet they still patiently provide water slides, rides on the fire engine, etc.\u00a0\u00a0They are not running their usual drinks tent this year.<\/p>\n

You will be met by children from the Bethells Surf Lifesaving Club asked for a gold coin donation.\u00a0 All cars are stopped at the beach end bridge.\u00a0 Our Lifesavers\u00a0 provide a hugely important service to all who swim or surf at the beach.<\/p>\n
