For further details ring Kathy on 293 8077 for a brochure, collect one from the library, or read about them on our website. On-line enrolments are possible.

Eugene Onegin is the subject of Peter Baillie’s popular talk on up-coming operas. The story of a dreamy country girl who falls for her ideal man only to be rejected, is set in fashionable St. Petersberg. The colourful music of Tchaikovsky reflects the contrasts of Pushkin’s novel. A not-to-be-missed event. October 4th at 2-4pm, Parklands Hall, Waikanae, just in time for the Wellington season of the opera.

A fascinating course by Peter Jackson, psychologist, looks at all those aspects of the senses that you wish you understood. It’s just an introduction to psychology but it will leave you wanting to know more. Six Tuesday’s from 6th October, 2-4pm at Paraparaumu Library. If you haven't yet enrolled, we would appreciate advance notice of your intention to attend as numbers may not be sufficient to proceed.

Did you know there was a Parrot Ranch in Levin? A bus trip run by the WEA on 8th October will visit the Ranch for a guided tour of the 300+ species of these colourful exotic birds from all over the world.

Starting shortly: beginners courses in Spanish and Italian.

Details on all courses can be found on our website.
Online enrolments are possible, with payment by direct debit (instructions sent with your enrolment acknowledgement), by post, or in person at the office.
Note that we do prefer enrolments and payment is made at least two days prior to a course in order to make decisions as to course viability.

Life Member

Last night past and present Committee members were pleased to meet to celebrate the presentation of Life Membership of the Kapiti Coast WEA to Basil Pritchett who has recently retired from the Committee, latterly in the role of Treasurer, but having served for many years in various positions, the Minutes first recording his appointment as Secretary-Organiser in November 1993 for 10 hours per week for an initial period of 3 months.
Basil's knowledge and expertise will be missed, but he will no doubt be seen around attending many of the courses he has helped make possible over the years.
