The Hutt News Petone Rotary Fair

Dear stall holder/ sponsor

Thank you for supporting the Petone Rotary Fair. Your support of this community event has both raised thousands of dollars for community works in the Petone area and also lifted the profile of this suburb and its community in the wider Wellington and Hutt Valley regions.

Unfortunately, it has been decided not to run the Petone Rotary Fair in 2022.

This has not been an easy decision to come to. However following consideration of the current COVID 19 situation (including the recent ‘traffic light system’ announcement) and the uncertainty that this has created moving forward for this type of event, it was felt that the club would be better to make a decision now and reduce the overall risk associated with the costs and compliance requirements.

We are sure that this will be a disappointment to you as many of you have been supporting this event for many years. It is also a disappointment for us especially given the legacy associated with this event both in the club and the wider community.

However Petone Rotary is a strong club and we will come back to this event more strongly than before.

We look forward to your support for this event in 2023.

Applications for the 2023 event will open on 1st October 2022

The 2023 HUTT NEWS Petone Rotary Fair is scheduled for Saturday 18 February 2023
