Youth Week begins
Melodic death metal, a pet food drive and everything in between, Youth Week 2008 begins next week and offers young people in Hastings a wide range of events to get involved with.
Youth Week is a national awareness campaign which runs from Monday 26 May. The week has two primary objectives: breaking down youth stereotypes and providing youth focused events.
Hastings District Council and Hastings District Libraries are working with other groups to hold a number of events during the week, culminating in a concert for youth at the Hawke’s Bay Opera House Assembly Room. RELATE 08 will see performances by local bands and solo acts including Kasey, Last Man Stand, Proof of Existence, Van kinder, AZ One Krumpers –dancers, Oh 6 – Brut Force – dancers. Tickets are $4 from Hastings I-site, Havelock North Auto Court, Atomic Centre, Flaxmere College, and your local schools. Doors open at 7pm.
