Nostalgia Night - 30th Sept, Hokitika Regent Theatre

Vaughan Bradley from Hokitika Regent Theatre

Looking for a fun night full of local Hokitika flavour and memories? The Westland Industrial Heritage Park have gathered a collection of footage from 1864 through until the 1990’s showing local talent, events and shows.

Were you at “It’s in the bag” or the Sesqui Centennial concert at the Regent Theatre which involved members from the Hokitika Savage Club and the Hokitika Dramatic Society?

Did you work at Seaview Hospital or attend the 125th Anniversary Reunion?

Remember what the Wildfood’s Festival used to be like back in the 90’s?

Have you ever seen heli-logging up close?

All this and much more will be on show on Saturday 29th September at Hokitika’s Regent Theatre. Bar opens at 6.30pm, show starts at 7pm.


This Nostalgia Night is being organised by the Westland Industrial Heritage Park in association with the Hokitika Lions Club and Hokitika/Westland RSA as a fundraiser. It will help fund the restoration of the very rare 1914 World Ward 1 Sunbeam Rover Ambulance in time to commemorate the end of the war in 1918.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
