Porirua’s Waitangi Day celebration will feature food, music and waka tours.

This year’s event at Te Rauparaha Park on Tuesday 6 February, from midday to 5pm, will be headlined on the main stage by roots reggae band House of Shem, who are sure to wow the crowd with their cool summer beats. Other performances on the main stage include Te Kura Māori o Porirua, Tipapa Bracken, Brooke x Starce, Ben Makisi, and TJ Taotua & Ministry of Tone.

Inside Te Rauparaha Arena there’ll be lots of free activities for tamariki, and more than 30 stallholders in the park outside. In Pātaka, meanwhile, there will be beautiful art and local history to discover. The popular free waka tours are also returning for the day, providing the opportunity to paddle around Te-Awarua-o-Porirua harbour, thanks to Toa Waka Ama.

Waitangi Day 2024 is an alcohol-free, smoke-free and vape-free event, and please leave your dogs at home.

Anyone have a 20" kids bike spare?

David from Tawa

Youngest has just learned to ride his older brother's bike so we need another larger bike for the older brother. 20" would be the ideal size. If you have one gathering dust we'd gladly show it some use.

Gone, pending pickup – FREE to good home: Harmonium/Pedal Organ – Message me please, or contact me on 027-630-7435.

Reluctantly getting rid of this beautiful old harmonium. We've had it for around twenty years, but I don't play it much anymore, so it's better to go to someone who will appreciate it more.

It's unusual for a pedal organ to have so many stops – twenty-two! Two of them are octave 'couplers', enabling doubling of an octave higher or lower. There are knee 'pedals' which make it louder by adding more stops (and more octaves), and there is a sliding hatch which hides the foot-pedals.

My favourite stop is the Sub Bass!!

Made by Sherlock-Manning in London, Canada. I don't know anything of the history of this particular organ, but the company operated from 1902 until the late-1950s, although they mostly made pianos, with harmoniums made in the earlier part of the company's existence. My guess is that it's around a hundred years old.

The Piano Shop in Plimmerton did a cosmetic restoration when we first obtained it, including comprehensive treatment for borer. There has been no evidence of the borer returning.

Most of the notes work on most of the stops, but a couple of the stops don't work, and one is quite out of tune (which actually sounds amazing!) There is a little bit of chipping to the edges of the candle stands, and the right-hand pedal is a little loose.

Despite its size, it's not as heavy as it looks, and can be moved with two people (I've moved it on my own).

It's 1300mm wide, 740mm deep and 1185mm high.

Pickup is from Tawa.
