Waiohine River Plan News
5th August : the big day! 5:00 p.m at Greytown Fire Station,
You are invited to a wedding and a “book launch”. Dress optional but preferred.
We request the pleasure of your company to witness the nuptials of WAG and FOW who are coming together to implement your vision for the Waiohine. This is the third and last reading of the banns of marriage. Should anyone know and just cause or impediment to these two fine groups of passionate hard working volunteers coming back together in wedded bliss under the surname WAG, speak now, or forever hold your peace. We’re setting up the best way to manage and implement the Waiohine River Plan, incorporating Floodplain Management Plan to make our river, safe, beautiful and bountiful for future generations. It offers the best way to share and communicate and choose how you want to be involved in which bits of your river plan and the beautiful river in the future.
We’ve been piling in the hours. The “not yet a draft plan” will also be “book launched” at the same meeting, along with more of the proposed map set. Everyone will be able to get their hands on the not quite finished story and information. We’re also hoping to re-engage with key stakeholder groups over the next month or two and have them critique the not yet a draft pan to see how it reflects their input and vision. This means that whilst we carry on adding to, improving and tidying up the draft over the next few months, you get in on the act of reading it, discussing it and giving us feedback on it, to help us get it as good as it can be ready for becoming a formal draft for the submissions process. We’ll explain what this means on the night, how you can get hold of a copy online from the 5th, download and print etc., compare to all the charts and maps and stuff we’ve posted up and shared with everyone over the last 2.5 years (yeah, we know, it’s been emotional but worth it). It will be nice to share all this and hear what you have to say.
No telegrams, solid silver, precious stones and cash wedding gifts will be accepted though. The bride and groom will depart before 7:00 guests are welcome to remain and apply to join the worthy Greytown Fire Brigade.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival
New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.
Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.
Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
