Christmas cards
Hi everyone
As you all know I am the artist on the corner of Mackenzie and Hopkins in gallery@109. I currently have a big show of 50 works titled 'Somme/Silk Road' on exhibition at the QEII National Army Museum in Waiouru. I have created a further suite of works using the same inspiration (the silk cards made during WW1 in France and Belgium) which I have titled 'We'll be home by Christmas'. I have turned two of those cards into printed Christmas cards (see images below) and am selling packs of 10 (5 of each, although I can make up packs of only one image should you like) of these from the studio and from Aum Dairy on Hopkins Street.
So for $15 (GST incl) a pack you get 10 Christmas cards and envelopes. All in time for your Christmas mail out.
Created here in Woolston/Roimata, please support your community and your local artist.
You can email me through here or txt me on 027 2748158 to reserve some for later pick up.
Cheers
David Woodings
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?
As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!
👉 But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like they’re just trying to keep their heads above water.
We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
