It's not over until the fat lady sings...

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

Get in quick - the Heretaunga Players’ first show of 2018 returns us to the village of Little Grimley with The Fat Lady Sings in Little Grimley.
Gordon (Andrew Tait), Margaret (Heather O’Brien), Joyce (Janet Beams) and Bernard (Greg Judd) are the surviving members of Little Grimley Amateur Dramatic Society.
They’re back to tackle yet another threat to their survival – this time in the shape of a rival am-dram, newly-formed in their village, determined to upstage them with an award-winning musical.
Season opens April 26. Shows will be performed at The Studio, Ward St and tickets are available from Expressions or by calling 527 2168.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
