What a fantastic afternoon at camp yesterday celebrating our annual Pavlova Competition 🍰
A big thank you to everyone who entered, and to the wider camp community and visitors who came along to watch the judging, cheer on the bakers, and soak up the atmosphere. Events like this are all about fun, connection, and a good dose of friendly competition.
Congratulations to our prize winners:
🥇 1st Place: Melissa
🥈 2nd Place: Jeanette
🥉 3rd Place: Mai
👏 “Gave It a Crack” Award: Lisa
We were especially impressed to see that three of this year’s prize winners were first-time entrants. Proof that having a go is half the magic.
Thanks to gold coin donations for tasting, we’re proud to say $370 was raised for the Waitārere Volunteer Fire Brigade. An outstanding result for a vital local service.
A huge thank you to the crew of the Waitārere Volunteer Fire Brigade for coming along early with the fire truck and making the day extra special. The kids (and kids at heart) loved exploring the truck and having a turn on the hose reel. Your time, energy, and community spirit are truly appreciated 🚒
Thank you everyone for supporting the event and helping make it such a memorable, feel-good afternoon.
