Opening Next Week: Real Art by Allen and Gael Gamble

The Feilding & District Art Society

Allen and Gael work across subjects and mediums. For this exhibition, their works will be presented as three distinct sections comprising artwork that will be enjoyed by people of all ages and interests. Visitors will see farmyard animals cast in delightful pastels, as well as enjoying cartoons in the style of Thelwell. Also on display will be scenery from around the country, inspired by the works of Davella Gore, and ink and wash images of urban landscapes. Those with an interest in object art will also rejoice at the sight of 19th-century soldiers cast in alloy and painted by hand.


With the Gambles together exhibiting over 60 works drawn from across their combined oeuvre, Real Art offers something for everyone and will be a true feast for the eyes - an exhibition not to be missed.

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.

Some Choice News!

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!
