Bridge is to cards what chess is to board games – the ultimate challenge for card players.

It's Canasta on steroids, 500 taken to a whole new level of excitement.

The best way to start your Bridge odyssey is to join the right club. One that offers lessons to help you over the steep learning curve and where experienced players are keen to mentor newcomers. The right club will become your second home and its members, new friends.

Karori is that club for Wellingtonians. Lessons are about to start. A warning, bridge can be addictive.

Have you lost your number plate?

Nicole Neighbourly Lead from Khandallah

I have seen that a number plate for a 2008 VW Golf is laying on the front lawn at 45 Boxhill. If it’s yours you may want to grab it from there.

Have a great day. 😁

Friday Feathered Friend

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

This weeks contribution comes from Louise Thomas.

"Is that a little blue sky this afternoon? I feel like a mole rat emerging after a week in the burrow. This grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) seems pretty happy to see the sun. He's posing in a cedar tree for Christmas cards."

Hello Neighbours, I’m not sure if anyone else has had this happen, but I’ve just received messages from people and they have been hacked through Facebook(messages sent through messenger). Be weary and maybe think about changing your password.

The Wellington SPCA is appealing for donations for a puppy recently rescued in Upper Hutt.
At just three months old, Piglet was covered in one of the worst cases of mange the SPCA vets had seen.
Piglet’s skin was red, raw and weeping. Mange is a debilitating skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Left untreated like this, it is horrific and extremely painful.
Found wandering the streets alone, the disease had ravaged Piglet's skin, and she was in significant pain and discomfort.
Her medication is expensive and SPCA vets say she will need a lot of care.

To help keep kids warm and well this winter, Wellington Hospitals Foundation has launched its annual Jammies in June Appeal.
Respiratory conditions are a leading cause of acute admissions to hospital for children and Wellington Regional Children’s Hospital sees a significant increase in the number of children who are admitted over the winter months - many of them arriving without a pair of pyjamas.
Please donate a pair of brand NEW, size 1-16 flannelette pyjamas or thermals.
Please make sure that all pyjamas meet NZ product safety standards and carry the fire safety certification.
Due to the risk of infection, only new pyjamas can be accepted.

Or make a donation online at www.whf.org.nz... and Wellington Hospitals Foundation will buy a pair on your behalf.

New pyjamas can be dropped in to receptions at: Wellington Regional Hospital, Kenepuru Hospital, and Kapiti Health Centre. Or posted to: Wellington Hospitals Foundation, Wellington Hospital Private Bag 7902, Wellington 6242
