In September 2002, I attended GSE selection and was selected to join the outgoing team to Denmark. RCoP sponsored my selection application and my time away. At that time I was a Sergeant at the Royal New Zealand Police College. The GSE experience made fundamental changes to my worldview. Judy Bain was the District Governor, Noel Evans coordinated the outgoing team's duties.

'Upon returning to New Zealand, I completed my obligatory duty of meetings to outline my GSE experience. Danish hosts, Rotarians became lifelong friends with one couple Annette and Hans-Erik Emborg remaining in contact to this day and visiting NZ eleven years ago to attend the wedding of our daughter Waimarie and son-in-law, Daniel.

Hans-Erik wrote to RCoP, recommending and supporting my application to become a Rotarian. In November 2003 I was inducted by then-President Brian Greaves. I chaired the Youth committee before leaving for Auckland in April 2006. While in Auckland I served as President for Somerville Rotary Club in the 2015/16 year, earning the club’s first RI President Award for club attainments.

Tokomanawa Queens are adding another chapter to basketball’s long and storied association with Porirua, and the side’s locally based coach couldn’t be happier.

There is a mix of homegrown stars and overseas talent among what is essentially a revamped national women’s basketball league - all told, there are 18 current or former Tall Ferns lining up.

“This is fantastic for our aspiring young players to be mixing with class imports, it’s raising the level,” says Queens coach, former Tall Ferns player and Porirua local Tania Tupu.

She says having basketball of this level at the Arena is exciting.

The Queens’ remaining games at Te Rauparaha Arena are against the Whai on Monday 25 July, Hoiho on Wednesday 3 August and Kāhu on Thursday 18 August.

All games tip off at 7pm and tickets can be purchased at ticketspace.nz or at the door – $5 for children, $20 for adults. The Queens’ lineup, schedule and tickets can be found at queens.nz/schedule
