Booktown celebrates books, storytelling and ideas, and the artefact and craft of the book.
The word is getting out about this year’s rich line-up of events in our South Wairarapa town and already some events are sold out.
There’s so much to choose from – there's sure to be something to tempt you. How about a selection of horror stories told late at night, or learn how to write your family’s history, or even a session devoted to pets, our adored fur babies.
Kids can do some print and paper making, or turn a poem into prompt journal (8 years and older) with Emma Hinton. Carol Duffy has a free book reading where kids can make native bird stick puppets that are part of the story.
Tell your friends and make a date to head to a Booktown event and be educated, inspired and entertained.
Featherston Booktown Karukatea Festival – 51 events, 89 presenters and literary top-liners, along with 25 booksellers.
Friday 12 to Sunday 14 May 2023. Find out about the packed programme here. Book your tickets online or at Martinborough or Masterton i-SITEs.

I have lived in New Zealand for the last twelve years, after being born and raised in Somerset, England. My parents ran a playgroup in our house for much of my childhood and I made close friends there, but I still felt isolated and different to everyone else.
I always loved food. We were able to help ourselves from the cupboards at home when I was young, with no restrictions.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them."
Happy Anzac Day!
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

You can sign up as an individual, or as team, such as a workplace. Regardless, each person must raise $1000 or more to qualify for a free jump.
When you sign up you'll get to choose where you jump and which region you'd like your funds to go to - these don't have to be the same, they could be at opposite ends of the country.
If you don't know where you want to jump yet, that's absolutely fine. Your local Cancer Society team can talk you through your options and help you pick the jump site that's right for you.
Stop hesitating, go on, sign up now!

You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

It is time to start planning to counter the sea level rise, which is increasing faster and faster as years go by. If we do nothing, the whole Wellington harbour will overfill, inundating the city and the Hutt valley

If we do nothing, the whole Wellington harbour will overfill, inundating the city and the Hutt valley
I suggest designing a dam across the entrance, with 2 ship locks to allow access and departures. It could go between Breaker Bay and Pencarrow.
There must also be a powered pumped outflow over the dam from the inner harbour into the ocean to keep the inner harbour and its surroundings safe.
And yes, it will "cost a lot of money" but the cost of NOT doing it will be many times worse.
