Summertime Karate Fitness Classes, Seido Karate Lower Hutt

Sean from Petone

Some of our junior student parents have expressed interest in attending daytime karate fitness classes at the dojo, so we have decided to hold trial Summertime Karate Fitness classes for the remainder of the year with the view to extending these into next year if interest is strong enough.

The invitation to join these classes is extended to anyone in the wider community who would like to work on their fitness and learn more about Seido Karate and our family values dojo.

These Karate Fitness classes will be headed by Sean Hill, one of our class instructors in our junior student classes.

If your weekly schedule allows you to have some spare time during the day and you would like to try karate fitness sessions, then you are very welcome to join us in these trial classes, whatever your level of fitness.

Classes will be Wednesday mornings at 11am, starting on Wednesday the 1st of November.

Casual sports / gym dress code, socks permitted but no shoes on the dojo mats please and bring your own drink bottles and training towels.

 A $5 fundraising donation to attend will apply for each of these trial classes.

 Please email your interest to Sean Hill directly at sean.hill.nz@gmail.com

We hope to see you soon!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

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 ❤️

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

Share your Christmas mishaps below!
