I bought these boots in Auckland , but found they are not a perfect fit for me and I have never worn them.
The red boots are genuine leather with non-slip rubber soles. They are marked as a size 41 (11) which is my size, but they are a too tight when I wear socks, so they are better for someone who is a size 10. The width is medium. $40
The Unisex black boots are suède with an imitation sheepskin lining. Soles are non-slip synthetic. It says size 10 inside, but they are quite big on me ( size 11 W) so that may be a man’s size 10. Great for winter.
$20.

DANCE. THEATRE. FARCE.

Tawata Productions

Unapologetically indigenous and indescribably farcical, Tawata Productions’ new work Ngā Rorirori (AKA The Idiots) is the unmissable return to the theatre Wellington has been waiting for.

Unapologetically indigenous and indescribably farcical, Tawata Productions’ new work Ngā Rorirori (AKA The Idiots) is the unmissable return to the theatre Wellington has been waiting for.

A rural marae has hit the jackpot – if they pass one final hurdle, that is.

The haukāinga must convince the Government’s Chief Executive of the Department of ‘Whenua, Whakapapa and Whatever’ that they are the true descendants of their eponymous ancestor!

If they are successful at doing so, the vast coastline in their rohe reverts to their ownership, garnering millions of dollars… in back rent alone.

Part theatre, part dance, part cinema, this ground-breaking work from acclaimed Māori playwright and director Hone Kouka shows 18 - 25 June at Circa Theatre, book now at Circa.co.nz.

Meet Ivy, who is looking for a new home.
"Hi there my name is Ivy and I am looking for my forever home. I am a super smart dog so would love a home that is keen on taking me to obedience classes and furthering my training. This is help me become the best companion I know I can be and this also provides me with enrichment. My new home would need to have someone around for most or parts of the day as I am not used to being left alone for long periods. I would love a home with kids that are confident around dogs as I can be a bit bouncy when interacting with people. My new home could have a dog, one that is social and is happy to share their home and people with me. I have yet to be cat tested. I do come with a medical waiver my home family would need to be made aware of. If you think I am the home for you click apply to see if we are a match."

Before her I had Harley for 9 years. Greyhounds are perfect pets: they are affectionate, don’t smell, are very relaxed and need very little exercise. They are not called couch potatoes for nothing!"

The Rotary Club of Karori is one of 36,754 clubs with 1.2 million members in 220 countries and territories around the world.
Our club was chartered in May 1982. This, our 40th anniversary year, is an opportunity to reflect on, and celebrate, the Club’s many activities and achievements over the years. Here is another such achievement.

1999 – 2007: Zealandia
A cornerstone of forest regeneration in Wellington, this fenced wildlife sanctuary in Karori is centred on what was once the city’s water reservoir. Beginning in 1999, Karori Rotary initiated a fundraising project to sell the naming rights for fence posts for the 8.6-kilometre, predator-proof fence - the first stage towards restoring an area of native forest and biodiversity.
This fence post initiative raised nearly $300,000.
Then, in 2003, our Club, in collaboration with all the other Rotary clubs in Wellington, embarked on the ambitious Discovery Area Project, an interpretation and display of the old upper dam construction site, which had been a hive of activity from its inception in 1906. The Discovery Area incorporates historic relics such as rails, bogeys and skips, a replica single-men’s hut, interpretation signage, and a gantry tower, similar to that used during dam construction, which now provides commanding views over much of the sanctuary.
Rotary raised close to $200,000 to meet the total cost of the Discovery Area, which was completed in 2007.
One of our major fundraising efforts was the very successful annual “Gutbuster” race around the boundary fence, for both runners and walkers, which ran for a number of years. Many club members participated and others helped manage the event, both in planning and ‘on the day’. These races also contributed funds for the development of an education centre for school groups.

If you’d like to learn more about Rotary and the personal satisfaction and growth that comes from serving others, please contact Andrea Skews, E andrea.skews@gmail.com, M 022 073 5548 or Phil Oliver, E phil@praxissoftware.co.nz, M021 292 7001.
