Stormtrooper Round The Bridges for Starship

Alistair from Hamilton East

Hi team
Please donate to my link below!
fundraise-for-starship.raisely.com...

I am doing the Hamilton Round The Bridges walk in full costume to raise money for The Starship Foundation

WHY I'M DOING IT
I am a member of Outpost 42 Garrison which is New Zealand's representative of the worldwide Star Wars Costuming Group, the 501st Legion.

"While we wear the costumes of Stormtroopers, Sith Lords, Bounty Hunters and other villains of the Star wars films, we dedicate much of our time towards assisting charities and community groups earning us the tagline 'Bad Guys doing good'.
I know there is a need and if I can help in my own way, I will gladly take one for the team, in doing so raising some money for all the brave kids and parents who are the real heroes.
This is why on Sunday November 13th 2022, I will be walking the 6km of the "The Lugton's Round the Bridges" event in Hamilton wearing a screen accurate replica Stormtrooper costume.
Soโ€ฆ

Please help a plastic spacemen support some kids and their families by donating through my link to The Starship Foundation
We will see you at the start line.

Thanks in advance
Alistair Richardson aka Hamilton Trooper

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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, weโ€™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 โ€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
