Corgi Racing Lining Up
It's quirky and its unique - third annual Black Hawk Wellington Corgi Races will be staged at the Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt on Saturday, December 4 with the first heat starting at 2pm.
Anyone can enter their pure bred Pembroke or Cardigan Corgi from anywhere and in this fun event not necessarily the fastest Corgi over the 60 metres wins.
Generous prizes for the first three in the final but every Corgi lining up in the heats gets Black Hawk gifts.
ENTRY IS FREE.
Last year there were around 300 spectators with 23 Corgis at the starting blocks..
Covid protocols will be observed.
Media interest is assured.
Corgis with an uncontrollable adverse attitude issue should not be entered.
Black Hawk is premium dry (kibble), wet (canned) and treats dog food products made in Australia and NZ.
If weather is lousy, Sunday is the reserve day.
The event is organised by Wellington Welsh Corgi Club which among other activities has monthly Corgi meet-ups.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
38.4% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
59.9% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
We're taking the bus!
The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.
Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.
It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.
It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.
With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
