FAMILY FRIENDLY FOOTBALL
The recent FIFA Women's World Cup was a huge success at its venues in Australasia and world-wide via television.
The matches were called "family friendly ". The only reason for this title was the price of admission to the 64 matches played. Twenty dollars-forty dollars at Wellington Regional Stadium I presume for all but one of the nine games played and not a great deal more if any at all the other venues here and across the Tasman.
So with the pricing that low there were pleny of kids at the stadiums.
Here is the real cost of attending world class sport. Spectators at the Rugby World Cup in France starting this weekend have paid up to $1500 each per match per seat. The cost just to pre- register for a ticket to a Warriors home finals match in the NRL in a few weeks is $49.
Some Choice News!
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!
