Auckland Archery Club Have A Go Day - TOMORROW - Sunday 18/9, 9.30 - 12
fb.me...
Always wanted to try archery? Thinking about taking up archery but you'd like a shoot before you commit to a course?
Then come along to our Have A Go Day. $5 (cash or mobile bank transfer) gets you six arrows and a coach to show you what to do with them. No booking necessary, just turn up between 9.30 and 12. It's a pretty popular event so there may be a wait time for your turn but it's worth it!!
NB wear closed toe shoes and bring extra cash for a sausage straight off the BBQ.
Also NB - you can find us in Cornwall Park, at the foot of Maungakiekie. If entering from Manukau Road, turn right at the Sorrento and drive to the carpark on the left hand side. We're in the field right there, you'll see the flags.
If you're entering from Greenlane Road, come down Twin Oaks Drive and turn right into the only car park you see. We're in the field right there, you'll have seen the flags as you approach anyway.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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!
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!
