Time to Remember - Nick Bray

Andrew Watson from Onslow Cricket Club

Time to Remember Nick Bray

This weekend on Saturday at The Onslow Cricket Clubrooms (Nairnville Park) join us over a drink and a chat to remember Nick Bray who passed away suddenly on 15 November in Auckland.



Nick Bray was local who grew up in Khandallah joined the Onslow Cricket after leaving Scots College in 1987.



Playing in a lower grade team .....bunch of mates wanting have some fun while playing cricket for the local club. The next few years was great fun and really shaped some long standing friendships.



Nick was the captain and wicketkeeper/batsman.



Nick was a loyal club man. The clubrooms was an important part of the day and Nick made us all know supporting the club was a key part of playing for Onslow. Often the day was a long one! He had a great likable nature about him and was sadly missed when he moved to Auckland in the 90's but Onslow was never far from his heart.



Sat 1 November from 6pm - Nairnville Park upstairs.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
