Private Pre-St. Paddy's Extravaganza on 15/3 with free band and cheap drinks

Michael from Newtown

Greetings -

The Friday Drinks Group invites you to join them on Friday, 15/3, at its private, Pre-St. Paddy's Day Extravaganza at the Cavern Club Bar. For the last 6 years, Friday Drinks has met every Friday at a different bar and presently has nearly 4,000 members. Almost all of its members are over 30.

The Cavern Club is a basement bar modeled after the Cavern Club in Liverpool, where the Beatles first started in the UK. It reminds me of similar bars in New York and London. We will have the entire bar as a private event from 7:30 to 10:00, in addition to the cheapest specials on wine, beer, and house liquor in Wellington. At 10:00, the public will join us, and we can dance for free to one of the best danceable rock bands in town.

RSVP's are essential, as the Cavern Club is small and we can't exceed its maximum capacity. To RSVP, please click

Then become a member (for free), go to its events section, choose the Pre-St. Paddy's Extravaganza, and RSVP. Thank you.

Best wishes - Michael

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
