Our impending move to Alert Level 2 provided some "food for speech" at last night's club meeting, as did words of compassion from our Prime Minister, and communication styles in challenging medical environments.

We changed the tune mid-meeting with our Annual Business Meeting - congratulations to Lisa, our President Elect, and our new committee. We know the club will be good hands over the year to come!

Look out for our next instalment on Tuesday 26 May - it'd be great to see you online

Returning to work and school in Level 2

The Team from Wellington Water

With more people returning to work and school in Level 2, we wanted to remind people that since water hasn't been running as frequently through the taps, it's a good idea to run your taps to flush out the system when you return to work.

With more people returning to work and school in Level 2, we wanted to remind people that since water hasn't been running as frequently through the taps, it's a good idea to run your taps to flush out the system when you return to work.

When left alone in your pipework for an extended period, water can become stagnant and while it's still safe to drink, it may taste unpleasant, so it’s a good idea to run the tap for a while to make sure you have fresh drinking water.

I'm a professional photographer and photo restoration/retouching artist, and since I am currently unable to do face-to face work I'm looking to see what digital services I can provide.

Please let me know if you would be interested in any of these services, I would be happy to help!

Our team at Wellington Seamarket has started doing contactless home deliveries for fresh fish and frozen seafood products.

If you would like to get some fresh fish for dinner tomorrow night you can order here.

Our fish comes in daily from fishermen around Wellington and collaborators around the country (such as Barnes Wild Oyster for Bluff Oysters).

Our goal is to get the fish prepared and delivered to your door within 24 hours of it hitting the deck!

We deliver Monday to Friday, and cover the bottom half of the North Island (Wellington to Palmerston North).
