Time to Remember - Nick Bray
Time to Remember Nick Bray
This weekend on Saturday at The Onslow Cricket Clubrooms (Nairnville Park) join us over a drink and a chat to remember Nick Bray who passed away suddenly on 15 November in Auckland.
Nick Bray was local who grew up in Khandallah joined the Onslow Cricket after leaving Scots College in 1987.
Playing in a lower grade team .....bunch of mates wanting have some fun while playing cricket for the local club. The next few years was great fun and really shaped some long standing friendships.
Nick was the captain and wicketkeeper/batsman.
Nick was a loyal club man. The clubrooms was an important part of the day and Nick made us all know supporting the club was a key part of playing for Onslow. Often the day was a long one! He had a great likable nature about him and was sadly missed when he moved to Auckland in the 90's but Onslow was never far from his heart.
Sat 1 November from 6pm - Nairnville Park upstairs.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
