This year, members joined us for a memorable weekend of connection and community as we explored Oamaru, shared stories and laughter and celebrated the three cornerstones of this event -
FUN, FITNESS and FRIENDSHIP.
The programme offered a mix of exciting events and activities tailored for everyone over four days of connection, good food, and local adventures including yoga, historic tours and coastal walks. We enjoyed scones at Totara Estate, a castle tour at Riverstone, optional penguin spotting, and plenty of time to explore Oamaru and beyond. The Organising Committee arranged a limited number of beds at Old Bones Lodge for the Triple F Challenge attendees.
This was a chance to connect, recharge, and support Rural Women New Zealand’s charitable goals.
