 We would like to thank the Deaf Maori for welcoming 21 Senior Citizens onto Ruamoko Marae at Kelston Deaf Education Centre on 18th August.
The presentation of their Maori Culture, the carvings and art etc was very interesting. We would also like to say thanks for providing the lovely lunch, really yummy. After lunch we went to see Deaf School Museum and which we also really enjoyed.

Hey all,
There was some awesome fun last Friday night at Deaf Club for those who have turned up. Thanks to Barry Kinnaird for teaching us Youth on how to play Indoor Bowls, it was great fun.
Some of us even played Table Tennis which saw ball bouncing all around the clubroom. Check out the photos!
Next event for September we are organising Wallace Williams Comedy Night for $5 each person wearing Hollywood style clothes, $10 if not. See the flyer on next page for information. This is a fundraiser event for National Deaf Youth Camp next year. Support us!!
If you have the drama or comedy talent, email us at

that you are keen to do a performance. Be quick.
Deaf Youth will be setting up a new webpage on Auckland Deaf Society website and setting up a page on Facebook and Twitter so you can get up-to-date information. This will be done in late September / October.
Also keep your date free on 16th October on Saturday night as we will be organising something cool for you all. More information to come.
Cheers,
Tim Lewin Chairperson |

Well we don’t have any fishing photos or fishing news this month. BUT I do have some news.
11 of us have been attending a Boat Master Course, 3 weekends from 9am to 4pm in the Boardroom at the Auckland Deaf Society. Some of us passed the exam while some of us continue to study and will re-sit the exam soon.
While we found the study exhausting we still enjoyed the course. It was not easy with so much to learn; boat safety, weather, navigation etc. Congratulations to those who passed their exam. On the last day of the course we gave Martin a gift voucher. Thank you Martin Horsfall for the time you spent teaching us and thank you Philippe and Sue for interpreting. A BIG THANK YOU!!
