HILLCREST DOJO, HAMILTON
OPENING 26th October 2018
Renshi Lucas will open a new dojo, the Hillcrest dojo, at Hillcrest Normal school, 218 Cambridge Road, Hillcrest on the 26th October 2018. Renshi Lucas' last class at Dinsdale will be the 24th September. Renshi Rohan will take over the Monday night classes and will continue teaching the Thursday class. Sempai Saheb will continue to support Renshi Rohan in both classes and is currently in training to take over the Thursday class early in 2019.
We thank Renshi Lucas for his service at Dinsdale for the last two years. He is sad to leave the students and only does so in the knowledge that he is leaving the students in great hands with Renshi Rohan, supported by Black tip Saheb Singh.
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
