Karma Keg - Maungaraki Richmond Scouts Jamboree Fundraiser
Maungaraki Richmond Scouts are raising funds to send 23 Scouts to the NZ Scout Jamboree in December. On Saturday May 25 the Scouts are holding a Karma Keg fundraiser. At the Karma Keg, a 50L keg of craft beer generously donated by Baylands Brewery will be tapped at 3 pm. Patrons are invited to pay what they think is "karmically fair" for a pint -- hopefully at least $10, but a generous contribution to the Scouts will come around with good karma for the donor. At 5:00 pm, all the proceeds from the beer sales will be given to the Scouts toward their Jamboree registration fees.
Please spread the word - tell all your friends, family and work mates, and come to the Queen of Jackson on Saturday 25 May between 3-5 pm to enjoy a great craft beer and donate to a worthy cause.
Cash only – you pay for your beer by putting money in the jar. We will also be running a raffle and silent auctions.
Start your evening with good karma – raise a glass to support the Scouts then enjoy the rest of the night knowing you are in harmony with the universe. Queen of Jackson is a family restaurant; children are welcome to attend.
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!
💨 Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! 🌧️ We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.
In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!
The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! ☀️
Any local hidden spots or activities you’d recommend for a calm Wellington day? Drop them in the comments! 👇
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?
-
38.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
