Come and try Spin Poi before Christmas
Playing with poi is a lot of fun! SpinPoi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted by Dr Kate Riegle van West to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination.
Karori Community Centre
Friday, 4 December, from 11.15 am to 12.00 pm
Price: $4
No need to book. Poi provided. Or there some new sets available for sale if you want your own personal set. The class is suitable for beginners to intermediate. It will be 45 minutes long and we cover:
o Welcome, safety reminders and warm up
o Practice of basic poi movements
o Playtime! 20-25 minutes of poi to music
o Cool down
Deb Gully has been leading seated exercise for seniors for more than 10 years and is now Wellington's first certified SpinPoi instructor.

Is anyone selling a exercycle/exercise bike cheap? In the area. Single mama and very hard to find the time to exerxise on my own with a 5 year old. Having a machine at home will help loads! Thanks 😊👍

"While we are excited about this, these birds live at Zealandia as a retiree couple, which means the likelihood of any egg hatching is quite low."
Takahē live in swampy environments and so run the risk of their egg washing away in big weather events. Zealandia say they will do their best to protect the nest and are promising to keep the public informed of any positive outcomes.

Hi Neighbourly folk, you will all know who is in the photo but where and when was this picture taken?
Dave Armstrong has come up with a brilliant idea to fix the aging infrastructure problems in Wellington. Rather than fix the pipes, why not dig them up and have open sewers.

Water meters in every house and daily water-use reports will be necessary for Wellington to avoid drought-like water shortages.
A new Wellington Water report prepared by Ernst Young and Beca recommended the region adopt a $144 million advanced metering infrastructure, with daily water consumption feedback and leak alerts provided to residents via a smartphone app.
The report warned leaks and over-consumption could put the region’s water stock under severe strain, and potentially cost hundreds of millions to fix.
At the current rate of water use and population growth, the amount of water needed to meet drought resilience water levels could exceed supply by as early as 2026.

The tent belonged to Anaru Mepham, from Mau Whenua, group opposing the controversial Shelly Bay development. Mepham described himself as a sentry for protesters who are standing by to join him if the bulldozers moved in.
Wellington City Council earlier this month voted nine votes to six to sell and lease its land at Shelly Bay to Shelly Bay Taikuru, owned by developer Ian Cassels and his partner.
Foster campaigned on the promise to stop the development, which is also opposed by Sir Peter Jackson.

Our van drivers have been working hard to complete pick-ups of all the generous donations from the community, plus get rid of rubbish to keep our staff, volunteers, and customers safe while in the shops.
We've had some great volunteers move on to paid work (which we love!) so we are now short on help to complete the growing workload.
If you or someone you know could help us out, please get in touch!
