CORGIS IN WGTN SANTA PARADE
Wellington's Santa Arrival Parade will occur on Saturday December 16 starting at 11.30am.
The parade will go from the Herd Street car parking area near Clyde Quay Wharf and move on the outer of Waitangi Park.
Wellington Welsh Corgi Club has been exclusively invited to take part.
The club is looking to muster a good number of Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis for this fun event. Non- club members are encouraged to join in. The crowd just loves seeing Corgis as Santa's little furry helpers.
Best dressed Corgi and best dressed handler and Corgi will be rewarded with prizes. All participating Corgis receive BlackHawk treats.

DEMOCRACY FALLOUT, FAILING
One watches in horror as the democracy of the USA is all to quickly dismantling. The Supreme Court is the latest in a long line-up to go really rogue. After years of being tampered with politically.
Of course would-be dictator, corrupt and criminal villain Trump and Trumpism has opened up a festering wound that is probably too deep now to successfully patch up.
NZ has not got the American system of democracy thank goodness and has often been internationally ranked first or in the top three as the world's most democratic and least corrupt country in the world.

SAVE MONEY WITH MORE CYCLEWAYS?
A new candidate for the mayoralty of Upper Hutt has emerged but
I don't think Wayne Guppy is going to have many sleepless nights over this person who wants to save ratepayers money and rates increases such as the whopping 20% proposed for next financial year, and spend rates money more wisely.
See, this "Greenie-type" person happens to pitch for more cycle lanes and not a stoppage on what we have already been lumbered with while jumping on the bandwagon of turning pot holes into pot stands.
Cycle lanes are expensive and I say any more are unwanted for at least the next 30 years. And this coming from not only a cyclist but one who rides a full blown racing cycle.
