Weekend Diversion

Went to the Silverdale Pioneer Village opening of an old school building, relocated from Upper Waiwera in the 1970s after the school closed down for good. First it went to Silverdale School where it performed the function of school library, then when they got a new school complete with library on a new site the building was transported to the village where it has been restored and will be used for displays. At present there is an interesting one on the history of Silverdale and one on the Upper Waiwera school where some of the members of the Society attended.

We retired to one of the other buildings for a traditional afternoon tea which was enjoyed by all. Some of the ladies were in pioneer costume, looking very much the part.
