What's on? Retrace your origins

Good morning SunLive readers, and welcome to a rainy Saturday.

Luckily for you, it's not meant to stick around all day and these rainy periods are set to gradually ease by this afternoon.

You've got a high today of 18°c and 13°c is your overnight low, which is better than some of those cooler temperatures we've been having this week.

There's one activity on today that I have to admit tickles my own fancy.

If you're anything like me, then researching and collating information about your family tree is probably something you expect is up to your mum or your grandmother to do, and so it's something you've probably never delved into yourself...

It's a lazy approach and it's why I recommend to go and find a way to learn it for yourself, at the Genealogy Informal Group.

Join in on discussions about climbing your ancestral tree. Visitors are welcome and the event begins at 1:30pm, 849 State Highway 29, Tauriko.

It's a $2 entry which even includes cuppa.

Speaking of origins, if you've got Scottish blood running through your veins (or even if you don't) then how about considering paying homage to your heritage by heading along to the Mount Scottish Society monthly meet up.

The society will have their monthly dance at Arataki Community Centre, Bayfair. The event runs from 7.30-10.30pm.

There's great music, entertainment and supper is provided, all for a tidy $7 entry. Ph 576 0578 for more details.

You can find what else is on below:

For 50+ & retired people. Products to sample, things to learn, groups to join! 55 exhibits. Caravans, ebikes, cars, finance & more. Baypark 21st/22nd April 10am-3pm. Free entry!
