The 2022 Committee
The 2021 AGM was postponed several times because of Covid making gatherings in an enclosed space such as the Manakau Hall both complicated and risky. The 2021 Committee continued in place until an AGM could be held. Note Miraz Jordan (resigned as of 19 March 2022) and set up her own [Waikawa News](http://news.wow-waikawa.nz) website to continue providing information to the community.
