MISSING - 2 SIGNS!

Richard Bywater from Kapiti Playhouse

Sometime over the weekend (we believe between Sunday & Monday) two of our billboard signs for our next production that look like the attached image went missing from Mazengarb Road (on the fence at the roundabout of Mazengarb/Guildford Drive) and Rimu Road (opposite the Pak'n'Save exit).

Given that they are attached to sturdy frames, which have also disappeared, we do not believe this is a natural act of wind but instead that someone has taken them down for some reason.

If you know anything about the missing signs please let us know - the material that makes up the frame & the corflute for the sign itself is not cheap and, as a community theatre, any unnecessary costs like having to replace these signs is money that isn't being spent on bringing community theatre to Kapiti.

Thanks in advance for any information anyone might have.

On a more positive note, bookings are open for the show and tickets can be purchased from Eventfinda at www.eventfinda.co.nz... :)

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
