^{WE HAVE MOVED OUR LEARNING CENTRE.}

^{Well we will be moving on Wednesday 18th
April. We are renting space on the first floor =
very easy stairs = of the Henderson RSA, which is at
66-70
Railside Avenue, Henderson and is right beside the bus stop and
opposite the railway station. This is much more central and easy
for those using public transport.}

^{We had to make a move from Henderson Valley
Road as it was just too expensive to keep renting there. We are
sure you will find it a nice space to learn in and its certainly a lot
quieter. We are all looking forward to getting settled in
and re-starting classes again. The Committee has worked very
hard to make sure the transition runs smoothly. so a big thank you to
everyone. We will have an open day as soon as we can
so that you can all come and see just where we are.}

^{If you have any questions on Tuesday please do
not hesitate to ask us.}

^Regards

^{June Lay}

^Chairperson

^{SeniorNet West Auckland.}
