Tai Chi at St Hilda's
Hi everyone. The Hapai Hall may be closed, but it's not the only Tai Chi venue in Upper Hutt. Did you know that the hall at St Hilda's, Cruickshank Road has one of the best surfaces I've found in my 10 years as a Tai Chi Instructor? It's padded, and so gives great support to the joints while we practice the gentle, controlled movement and breathing that makes Tai Chi so enjoyable. Whether you work 9-5 or are retired, our class has something for your strength, balance, coordination and mindfulness needs. Beginners or experienced, you are welcome to join us every Tuesday evening, from 7pm - 8pm at St Hilda's, Cruickshank Road. There is plenty of parking too! Hope you see you there

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

I'm looking for a workshop in the Wellington Region.
Does anyone know of any local art workshops on using epoxy resin?
Links or contacts would be greatly appreciated, please
Thanks in advance
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
