Upcoming Grey Power Upper Hutt Social Meetings
Grey Power Upper Hutt (“GPUH”) is currently engaging with Upper Hutt City Council, ensuring the voice of older persons in the Upper Hutt community is being heard. GPUH’s Local Government Grey Power sub-Committee, is actively working with Upper Hutt Senior Net hoping to establish an Older Persons network in the Upper Hutt Community.
Due to GPUH’s local engagement with UHCC we have been asked to organise a meeting of Older Persons to discuss and give comment on the UHCC Annual Plan 2025/2026. The Meeting will be held on Wednesday April 2, 1.30pm at the Upper Hutt Baptist Church. Afternoon Tea will be provided.
Our April Social Meeting (16 April at 1.30pm) has as Guest Speaker, David Galt, Managing Director, Mowbray Collectables. He will discuss and show guests, several interesting coins, stamps, banknotes and medals in a PowerPoint presentation. David will also be able to demonstrate how members can move unwanted items on and how you can have the items valued.
I also wish to advise all current GPUH Financial Members, that our ANNUAL General Meeting will be held Wednesday 21 May 2025 at 1.30pm at our new meeting venue, Upper Hutt Baptist Church corner of Fergusson Drive and Milton Street.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
