Do you (or a friend, neighbour or family member) sometimes struggle to cope with your laptop, PC, smart phone or tablet? Are you still nervous about signing up for Internet Banking or any of the many other services that we are now encouraged (required?) to access electronically?
Maybe you've never done much computing and need to start with the basics? Or are you a regular user and just want to learn how to get the most out of your device or stay up-to-date with new developments?
We deal with these issues all the time at SeniorNet and our friendly tutors are always willing to go the extra mile to help. With a comprehensive programme of courses and workshops coming up in Term 4 2022, now is a good time to get started!
If you or someone you know could do with some IT help, please come along to our Learning Centre at 200 Matai Road, Raumati Beach between 11.00 and 2.00 pm on Sat 8th or Tues 11th Oct and talk to one of our tutors about how SeniorNet can help.
We would love to see you. You can find more information at kapiti.seniornet.nz

This airport is unique to this area and has served this community well. Unfortunately the current owners (the Templeton Group) are property developers not caretakers and would like to see a large area of the land consumed with housing.
It would be devastating to our communities to lose this Taonga (Jewel) to a whole lot of housing in this area. We have lots of other areas of land that can be utilised for this.
A recent survey showed an over-whelming 85% of the community want to see our airport retained. This is of course is achievable by using the commercial area as an income to supplement the running of the airport. Kapiti air urban (KAU) have put together a credible plan to include some housing, commercial, papakaianga homes (for maori) and retain the airport.
Local hapu/iwi currently have a claim in on the land and they too want to see the airport retained.
Please support and vote for the candidates that will stand up and voice their concerns on behalf of our communities.
As the saying goes; 'You cant go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending'.
Follow this link to view who supports retaining the airport.

In the meantime, we have Zucchini ready for greenhouse planting now. This is a self-fertile variety ideal for greenhouses and the cooler weather as it does not rely on bees or other insects to set fruit.
Also available now are snowpeas (both green and purple pods), sugarsnap and green garden peas.
Also coming up in a few weeks: dwarf and climbing beans, cucumbers, kumi kumi, pumpkin, kumara, peppers, hot chillis and much more.
Look for our stall tomorrow at Waikanae half-way down Park Road.
