Rotorua Roaring Knights Chess Club
Hello everyone
The Rotorua Roaring Knights is a new chess club in Rotorua, New Zealand. Chess enthusiasts from all ages and levels in Rotorua are welcome to join. Chess is a great way for kids to develop their minds, use their imagination, train their memory and reasoning skills and so much more. Of course, adults benefit in similar ways from this wonderful game. Bring your friends and come along on Sundays from 3 to 5 PM at the Yacht Club at the lakefront (1 Mataiawhea St, Ohinemutu). Want to play? You can have a friendly game against friends from your or different schools. Want to learn? You can enjoy a chess lesson at the club as well. Biscuits are available. Please bring a 5$ contribution. You don't know how to play chess but are interested in learning? Come along and we'll be more than happy to explain to you the very basics. Feel free to join our FB group at www.facebook.com...
Next club meetings are on Sunday 8 and 22 July.
Warm regards

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
