Mahurangi Regatta
The Mahurangi Regatta celebrates 40 years of revival on Saturday.
Yacht races get underwaty at 1pm with the Jane Gifford as flagship, and the course—twice around Saddle Island and back up the harbour to Scotts Landing—provides an unparalleled spectacle, particularly for those who take the picnic lunch to Tungutu Point for the most panoramic vantage from which to appreciate the more than a hundred classic wooden boats competing.
On shore there'll be sand sculpting, egg and spoon, sack and three legged racing, with a water run, egg throwing and tug of war to follow.
Prize giving kicks off at 4pm at Scotts landing and the the after match function sees the 18-piece West City Jazz Orchestra 1940s swing-era music get everyone dancing.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
