They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Kei warewaretia tātou – lest we forget.

Teenagers applying for a driver's license.

Joyce from Levin

Hi. Anyone else out there with teenagers sitting their restricted driver's license finding that they are being failed by the inspector for a trivial thing like asking them a question that has nothing to do with actual driving. Finding it more and more with people I have been talking too.

The Cancer Society has partnered with 9 skydive companies across Aotearoa to offer you a free skydive when you raise $1000.

You can sign up as an individual, or as team, such as a workplace. Regardless, each person must raise $1000 or more to qualify for a free jump.

When you sign up you'll get to choose where you jump and which region you'd like your funds to go to - these don't have to be the same, they could be at opposite ends of the country.

If you don't know where you want to jump yet, that's absolutely fine. Your local Cancer Society team can talk you through your options and help you pick the jump site that's right for you.

Stop hesitating, go on, sign up now!

A place has just opened up in my art workshop during which participants will develop a design in colour which is inspired by leading Art Nouveau designer Charles Rennie MacIntosh.

This workshop spans a weekend in May with all materials provided. It will look at some of the design elements in the work of Charles Rennie MacIntosh, a Glasgow born architect, designer, artist and one of Scotland's most influential creative figures. We will view images of some of his works to identify the basic design elements he became famous for during the Art Nouveau period – a contrast between strong right angles and floral-inspired decorative motifs with subtle curves, elongated forms, flowing lines, restrained colour, symbolism, geometric patterns, and emphasis on the rectilinear.

You will play with those elements to make your own MacIntosh inspired designs. Everyone will have the opportunity to try out colour pencils, GOLDEN’s QoR watercolours, Fluid, High Flow and SoFlat paints on a variety of grounds. You can choose from Canson Drawing Paper, Bockingford Cold Pressed Watercolour paper or Hahnemuhle Acryl to develop your work.
Cost: $210
Location and Dates: This workshop will take place on Saturday May 20th from 10am – 4pm and Sunday May 21st 2023 from 10am – 3pm at Morag Stokes Art Studio, 14 Morepork Drive, Waikanae. Tel. 027 380 3282.
Materials:
• What is provided: A choice of pre-gessoed cartridge paper, watercolour paper or an Acryl surface for your main design, plus sketch paper, pens, pencils, scissors, shape templates, and a variety paints to choose from by GOLDEN (High Flow, SoFlat, Fluids, and QoR).
• What you need to bring - Just your lunch.
Lunch and refreshments: There will be a 50-minute lunch break on both days. Bring your own packed lunch or visit one of the cafes in Waikanae town, a few minutes’ drive from the studio. Tea, instant coffee and nibbles will be provided for you to help yourself to throughout the day.
How to register: You can register your place in this course, and receive payment details, by contacting Morag Stokes at jubileems@gmail.com or telephone 027 380 3282. Your place will be confirmed when payment in full is made.
