Come along and have Fun playing Pickleball At Pettigrew Arena on Thursdays 10am - noon
PICKLEBALL is the fastest growing sport in the World.....So what is this game with the funny name?? Its a paddle sport created for a wide range of ages, athletic abilities and fitness levels.. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, ideally suited to seniors who want some fun exercise and social interaction or teenagers who are not really "sporty" For those who are ex Tennis, Squash or Badminton players, Pickleball is easier on your body but can still develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game. Pickleball has many health benefits as well, such as increased mood and overall mental health, you burn calories, and fewer injuries occur due to the low-impact nature of the game. Pickleball specifically works on balance and agility, while offering the same benefits of other regular exercise such as reducing your risk of heart attack and chronic disease, toning your muscles and increasing your energy. “The best thing about Pickleball is that it provides socialization and activity at the same time.


The Basics

A fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong.



Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net.



Played with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes.



Played as doubles, singles and even triples.

OUR PORT CONSULTATION DOCUMENT

Phil from Taradale

Hopefully most are aware of this, however having spoken to HBRC today thought it might catch some who are unaware.
The document has not been delivered to hundreds of homes and consequently the submission date has been extended to 22 November. A phone cal to HBRC will get you a copy sent by mail.

Submit people and halt the sale of any part of the Port as there are ways to fund the Port's requirements without selling off a huge part of it. The submission document is totally skewed to selling 49% and has a taste of shambles surrounding the dam proposal.

Hi there,

Hi there,
Today I am thankful that we live in NZ during Peace Time.
Thank you to all those who served and sacrificed with their own lives or by being the ones who were to stay at home and farewell their husbands, sons, brothers, and friends.
Thank you to all those who continue to protect the innocent, who fight for injustice on every level and who bring peace wherever they can.
We don't have to go to fight in some horrid war to stand up for someone being mistreated - we don't have to leave our shores to fight for injustice or to bring peace to people.
If they did this for me and for my family, what can I do to respect what they did?
No greater love has someone that he should lay down his life for his brother/friend/stranger and in our case for people who are not even born yet.
Sincere thanks and today I choose to remember you and give thanks and say I am sorry that you had to suffer.

The first three pictures are the ghosts of soldiers silently standing over their graves in the St John's Churchyard, Slimbridge. It floors you to silence and moves you to tears. Well done creator Jackie
Lantelli, for a stunning tribute to those who gave their lives 💜

The photo of the crosses is from the Auckland Domain where there is a cross for every soldier who died in WWI. 18, 277 crosses are there to see. The second photo shows the section for the brothers from one family.
A special place for 2 brothers, then 3 brothers and then would you believe, families who lost 4 brothers.
I can not even begin to imagine.

Peace and Courage to you

Rhonda Diprose
