Your invitation from the Committee and Members of REBUS Wanganui.

Vernon Ballance from REBUS Wanganui:

We hold a monthly meeting for retired, or those who consider themselves semi- retired persons, of all callings in our community who would appreciate an opportunity to gain more social contacts by meeting with others having similar interests or who are in similar circumstances.

Once called, Wanganui's original "Probus Club", the name change to REBUS arose because the Australians franchised the name causing large numbers of we Kiwi’s to rename our clubs as "REBUS” and we then continued as before.

Our next meeting is at 10 am Tuesday 3 August in the Blind Foundation Building, 102 Peat Street Wanganui.

Please feel free to join us, you would be most welcome as our day starts with a light morning tea,. followed by some club business, a club speaker and then a guest speaker who this month will be Phillip Bedford, the Chief Executive Officer of the New Zealand International Commercial Pilot Academy.

The meeting concludes by noon and those wishing to, will then gather at Caroline's Boat Shed, Bar and Eatery. 81 Somme Parade, Aramoho for .
lunch.

Should you wish to join with us on Tuesday but are unable so to do, then consider meeting with us for coffee at The Brick House, 72 St Hill Street, opposite the Royal Wanganui Opera House at 10 am on Wednesday 18 August.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
