More details will be added to these events as they become available.
2pm to 4pm Johnsonville Uniting Church, Dr Taylor Terrace, Johnsonville, Wellington
The meeting will start at 2pm, and will be followed by the first "Big Blow" of the year. If you cannot attend the AGM, please email remu.org.nz@gmail.com to record your apologies or nominate a financial member as your proxy by giving them a signed hard copy note to that effect.
Big Blow 1 will be led by John Lister.
The Big Blow gives a chance for you to indulge in massed playing for recorder. You will need to be able to read music comfortably,
but need not be an expert, as there will be many players on the same part. This is a great way to ease back
into playing after a long break.
Please contact remu.org.nz@gmail.com for more information.

Every year REMU arranges a weekend workshop at Strathean Retreat Centre a large house near Te Horo. Participants take part in workshops over the weekend. Strathean is located in park-like grounds, so there is always the option of time out and relaxation. Non-players such as partners are also welcome.
The lead tutor for Strathean 2026 will be announced later this year.
The registration form plus further details about the event, venue, accomodation options and food arrangements will be on this website closer to the event time. Some preliminary details can be found here Strathean Residential Weekends
