The Khandallah Bowling Club is currently considering the possibility of creating a community garden on the Pétanque court. The court will become vacant this month with the closure of the Khandallah Pétanque Club.
Options for the future possible uses of the Pétanque court were presented to a working group of the Khandallah Bowling club.
Of the options presented “the installation of a raised beds commnity garden was the most preferred." Bowling club board member Dennis Gibb told the ‘Independent Herald’. We are keen to hear from the community what people think of this idea and any suggestions on how it could function
Any interested people can let Dennis Gibb know their reaction to the community garden idea by emailing him at gibbwhanau@gmail.com.
There are similar examples of bowling clubs having gardens, and Dennis provided two examples.
“The Wainuiomata Bowling Club has a large vegetable garden, possibly equal in area to our Pétanque green. “It has been very successful with range ofeasily grown vegetables. They also have a glasshouse.
“The Point Chevalier Bowling Club in Auckland handed over a redundant bowling green to a community garden organisation, including a glasshouse in 2015. It is
known as Growing Point.”
A garden at the Khandallah Bowling Club “could operate as a community garden with the produce going to numerous recipients.
Sold within the community.
Sold to club members
Donated to charities, such as food banks and families in need.
Taken by volunteers,”
As the raised beds sit on top of the Pertanque gravel surface, the surrounding area would be easily maintained.
There could be other benefits.
Benefits could be
A source of revenue for the club from the sale of some produce;
it could provide added security for the bowl-ing club with people regularly on site and
the possibility of new members from those involved in the garden being attracted by seeing the bowling activity. Khandallah Bowling is a very friendly club that welcomes new members.
“It is estimated that the Pétanque area could, at the most, accommodate about 24 raised beds," Dennis said. “This allows about 1.5 metres between beds. “Twenty four however is probably a bit excessive, and some of the space
could be utilised for a greenhouse and potting facilities at a later date. It is envisaged that the development of the garden garden would be a progressive undertaking that could eventually include fruit trees, cut flowers, and even beehives.

Would anyone be interested in short-term rentals of gaming consoles (Playstation, Nintendo Switch, XBox etc) for things like rainy weekends, school holidays, or kids’ birthdays?
I’ve got a couple of gaming consoles with a few kid-friendly/multiplayer games and was thinking of offering hire locally (pickup/drop-off in Karori).
Just gauging interest at this stage to see if this is something people would actually use! Thanks!

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.

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?
