Porirua Menzshed News
President Euon, of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton, invited Graeme Blick, Allan Nichols and Alistair Woodfield to give a little of the history of Carol's amazing contribution and persistence over the past 5-6 years in getting the Menz Shed off the ground. Graeme presented her with a cheque for $2,000 as the Club's contribution, together with a Rotary Community Services Award. Carol responded with her thanks and genuine surprise at the honour.
February's Weather to Mid-month
The dry, sunny weather of recent months continues, but with an increase in temperatures.
Over the last couple of months summer's temperatures in Kāpiti had been up to a degree cooler than average, but recent weeks has seen a daily average of 23.3℃, normal for February. Thursday's (Feb. 12) 27.2℃ was the highest of the summer to-date
The longtime average rainfall for the month is around 60mm and we have had about half that, but this is insufficient to maintain soil moisture, so if the unsettled weather predicted for the next few days delivered 30-40mm it would be good.
The SW winds, with a 'watch' from Sunday evening (Feb 15), were already fairly strong by mid morning.

-
25.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
