New play opening soon at the Octagon Theatre

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good people

If you're fans of theatre, you might like to catch the heart warming play, The Illiterate Book Club that's coming to the Octagon Theatre.

It's the story of a group of friends who love books but who can't read - because they never have the time.

But they start a book club anyway and come up with other ways to soak up their favourite stories.

And apart from "book reviews", there's food, drink and updates on everything that's keeping them from sitting down with a good book.

Evening shows are: June 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th and 17th.
Dinner and show is $55 and show only is $30.

Matinees are: Sunday June 4th & 11th
Lunch and show $45. Show only $30.

Tickets are now available at www.octagontheatre.nz...
Or book through Craniums, ph 09 438 4406

Hope to see you there.

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.

Some Choice News!

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!
