Porirua Anzac Day options

Reporter Community News

Porirua residents are spoiled for choice when it comes to attending an Anzac Day service.
Since 1916, services have been held around the country to mark the landing of Australian and New Zealand soldiers at Gallipoli in Turkey on 25 April 1915, acknowledging the sacrifices and hardships made there and in subsequent conflicts around the world in the name of freedom.
In Porirua this year there will be dawn services from 6am at the Porirua RSA in McKillop St and the north end of Titahi Bay Beach, the latter hosted by Titahi Bay RSA near the old gun emplacement on the access road to the beach.
In the city centre, the civic service begins at 9am (live streamed on Facebook from 8.45am) and concludes at 10am. This is available for anyone in the city to attend, with morning tea in Te Rauparaha Arena afterwards.
Other services in the city, include
- St Alban’s Church, Pāuatahanui, 10.15am;
- Takapūwāhia Marae, 10.30am;
- Pukerua Bay Community Hall, 11am, followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at Whenua Tapu Cemetery at noon.

On the hunt for a childhood book

Shaz from Ascot Park

Hi guys,
I'm currently trying very hard to find this book and I can't seem to find it locally in stores. I was hoping one of you might have an old copy you weren't in need of anymore 🤞 i would be incredibly grateful 👌😊
