A new way to live

It’s a time for fine-tuning your skills and pushing the boundaries, catching up with your mates and heading off on new adventures at the drop of a hat! No, we’re not talking about your 20s, we’re talking about your retirement.

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.

Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .

Outdoor space rent relief for businesses under hardship

If hospitality outlets or street stalls can show they're under financial hardship thanks to Covid can apply to the council for an up-to 100% waiver of their outdoor licencing/renting fees from the council. Fair enough or unfair handout?

This coming Sunday, May 16th at the Mapua Community Hall the Packhouse Cinema will show another interesting movie. The movies have now been ,moved to every third Sunday of the month.

I saw the stage play in Sydney a couple of years ago. and I was fully prepared to hate this movie. But, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's not so easy to take a stage production and make a good movie. However you can watch this movie, tap your feet and clap along with the music. There was no one behind me so I got up and danced in my seat a couple times. It was AWESOME!!! The actors are stellar, the music is fantastic and the film completely engrossing. I had a big smile plastered across my face from beginning to end. The audience clapped twice during the movie (it was that good). Most of you know this music and will love it just like Di does. What more do I need to say?
Go see it and have some fun!

The movie starts at 6:30pm, doors open at 6:15. Bring your own chair, nibbles and drinks and enjoy a drink or a snack at the Sprig and Fern opposite the hall.
