SUN 10/02: Ulrich Esplanade Reserve. We'll be meeting at the playground on Ulrich Dr, Ulrich Esplanade Reserve; 10 am. It's a perfect opportunity to get kids involved as it'll be off the road and there's also a playground, where they can burn more energy after:)

In April of this year, Kanoa Lloyd and the Graeme Dingle Foundation will be taking on a challenge and trekking through Vietnam to raise funds for the school based programmes the Foundation runs.
They're searching for a team to join them on this trip of a lifetime that will do so much to help our tamariki. If an 11 day trip through the exquisite Vietnamese country side sounds appealing to you - why not join Trek to Transform Young Lives and help kiwi kids along the way.

The perception of lawn bowls being a sport for old people is a fallacy. More young people are playing the sport at all levels than ever before. Why? Well lawn bowls is a very social sport, easy to learn, low cost, inclusive and above all great fun.

Why? Well lawn bowls is a very social sport, easy to learn, low cost, inclusive and above all great fun.
Bowls is truly a sport that anyone can play on equal terms regardless of age, gender or physical ability and with clubs throughout Auckland running social bowling events through summer there is no excuse for you not to get out into summer and have a go!
For more information on where to play lawn bowls visit www.playbowls.co.nz or contact your local club for details.

Seeing a set of golf clubs in a church garage sale was stimulus for Renee to fulfill something in her bucket list. She often thought about playing golf but had not acted on her wish , until she saw these golf clubs and saw that Redwood Park Golf Club were offering lessons.
Renee joined a group of fellow golf learners for coaching at Redwood Park, and loved the approach where they started at the end with putting and finished at the start of the game, by learning how to use a driver.
“Matt, our golf coach, used very simple, easy to understand instructions and always acknowledged our progress ,” said Renee.
“After we finished our six week course, our group kept in touch and we played together each Sunday afternoon to support each other. The Club was marvellous, by providing a group tee off time on Sunday afternoon and they also provided a two month complimentary membership that allowed me to practice on the course”.
“Club members also invited me to join them, and asked what I would like to practice. This has helped me to build my confidence and meet other players. Playing golf has been great in improving my fitness. “says Renee.
If you have a similar wish like Renee, coaching clinics for adult learners begin at 9am on Sunday 10 February. The cost of $120 provides six, 1 hour lessons, taken by a PGA golf coach. It is followed by two months of membership at Redwood Park so you may build your confidence.
Redwood Park also has a junior programme taken by PGA golf coaches, with the term programme starting at 10am on Sunday 10th February. The cost is $120 per term.
Redwood Park Golf Club is at 13 Knox Rd, Swanson. To register your interest or to find out more information, please contact Redwood Park Golf Club , ph 09 8338253; manager@redwoodparkgolf.co.nz

I have just had a reply from Trademe on this matter.
In several paragraphs what they said in essence was; "Sort it out yourselves, we don't like to get involved. Go to Citizen's Advice Bureau to find out your rights"
I am very disappointed with this response. They are very happy to take their rather exorbitant selling fee out, but obviously not so keen to help when necessary. Possibly this is because I read in the paper that some company has made an offer for Trademe.
Thanks very much for all your suggestions and comments.
