How do you wrap up what’s been an awesome year with awesome people?? Actually here’s how….
The Spot Motueka are hosting a free event for whanau and rangatahi at Decks Reserve on Friday the 19th of December.
Free BBQ, Bottled Water, Donut eating competition (entrants drawn from a box), Games happening it’s all happening… 😏 I even heard there’s a guest appearance by Santa Clause lined up?
Come wrap the year up with us as we see not only ourselves but also those we’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with off into the holiday period.
Us at The Spot Motueka are back in the 12th of January so IF by chance we get rained off we will look to postpone this event until the 16th of Jan.

Special thanks for support going out to Everyday Cars Ltd, The Smoking Barrel, Te Kotahi o Te Tauihu Charitable Trust, Motueka High School, Tasman District Council, Motueka Recreation Center, Motueka Fire Crew and of course the crew Mitre 10.
