DO LADIES PLAY SPORT?

Michael from Trentham

A rugby sevens coach referred to the NZ women sevens team players as "ladies".
The equivallent with men playing rugby or football or hockey or basketball or league or boxing etc is "gentlemen".
Now who does indeed refer men as gentlemen especially in rough and tumble sport. … View more

The equivallent with men playing rugby or football or hockey or basketball or league or boxing etc is "gentlemen".
Now who does indeed refer men as gentlemen especially in rough and tumble sport. No one should really. So its either girls, gals or women as a direct contrast with terms: boys, guys and men. But please not ladies and gentlemen which to me is under-rating a gutsy female or male player.

We've been getting lots of lovely compliments on the progress we're making on clearing the noxious climbers from the riverbank behind Black Beech Street.

Compliments are nice BUT ... we need extra HELP. A very small core of dedicated people regularly turn up but we could achieve so much more with extra hands on board.

Next working bee is this Saturday, 29th April at 9.30 - 12.30. Even if you can only spare a couple hours we'd love to see you.

Gathering point is Black Beech Street, southern end, down access path to riverbank, turn right and walk up about 100m. From the Canoe Club end, turn left and walk down.

You’ll need stout footwear, protective gloves, mozzie repellent and secateurs and/or loppers.

Poison will be provided by Forest & Bird.

Please text Sarah on 027 6100 141 or email sarahlean968@gmail.com to register your interest and for more information.

Lest we forget...

The Team from NZ Compare

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Hi everyone,

Here we are hard at work rehearsing for our next production “ Lockdown in Little Grimley”.

This is the fifth of the hugely popular Little Grimley series, which follows the antics of a hapless amateur dramatic society desperate for audiences.

In a time of lockdown, the Chairman Gordon calls an emergency meeting, complete with social distancing, to discuss his idea for their next production when restrictions ease - a touching love story set in a hospital, with all profits destined for the NHS. But based on their previous efforts, will the NHS actually end up worse off?

Show dates are Thu 4th May to Sat 13rth May and we have 2 free tickets to give away for opening night on the 4th. Simply go to our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/heretaungaplayers

like and share and you’ll automatically go in the draw.

Tickets can be purchased at Lockdown in Little Grimley (iticket.co.nz) The crew at Heretaunga Players look forward to seeing you at The Studio, 52 Ward Street.

Get cosy with your whānau

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

Another wonderful image from Simon Woolf. It was taken on the Kāpiti Coast.

"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."

What are the worst streets in our city for larger vehicles?

Editor Reporter from The Post

A truck stuck got stuck a narrow Wellington road this week - and it is not the first big-wheeled victim of the capital’s tight thoroughfares.

Some Wellington streets are more likely than others to collect wedged buses and trucks, with one resident saying in 2016 that a stuck bus was a … View more
A truck stuck got stuck a narrow Wellington road this week - and it is not the first big-wheeled victim of the capital’s tight thoroughfares.

Some Wellington streets are more likely than others to collect wedged buses and trucks, with one resident saying in 2016 that a stuck bus was a six-monthly affair on one bend.
