Three sides of the northern half of Plimmerton Domain have now been planted with about 11,000 stems since commencing in October 2020. There were 25 volunteers on the job on a magnificent Saturday morning - 13 Rotarians from Plimmerton and Porirua Clubs plus a bunch of enthusiasts from Whitby Scouts and some local community supporters too. Once again, Ron Lucas sped up the hole digging by pre-drilling with his trusty post-hole auger. The team planted about 500 Carex plants. They also assembled about 700 cardboard sleeves and stakes for protecting some of the trees planted last month as shown here in the photo. The volunteers really appreciated the home baking from President Kay. Bill also mentioned his appreciation to Rachel McClellan from PCC who not only works flat out on the planting days but also coordinates all the logistics of getting plants and protectors to the planting site from the PCC nursery.

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.
"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”
The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.

"Hi there my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers, who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward with my new family, learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information."

Many of us are familiar with his towering Messiah. The Kapiti Chorale, accompanied by a 16 piece chamber orchestra and two stunning soloists, soprano Caitlin Roberts, and Mezzo soprano Ruth Armishaw, will explore a range of some of Handel’s other music.
The centrepiece of the concert will be his set of 4 Coronation Anthems, written for the coronation of George II of Great Britain in 1727. They have been used in most coronations since then, and are, to varying degrees, familiar and unfamiliar to audiences today. We will also do a selection of pieces from Handel’s oratorio masterpiece Samson, several of his Italian works for soloist or duet, and two selections from Henry Purcell as well.
For an afternoon rich in great English music, make sure to come and hear one of your great local choirs perform at its usual high calibre!
Saturday 7 August, 3:00 pm, St Paul’s Church, Kapiti Road, Paraparaumu.
