We’ll cover the grocery bills, so you can spend less time worrying about what’s in the trolley and more time enjoying who’s around the table.
And because life at Ryman means less home maintenance, you’ll have even more time for the things you love.

I'm planning to run FOUR MEDIA-BASED WORKSHOPS with an early November start. Dependent on interest, the workshops could be held IN-PERSON at my home near Devonport.
Or: ONLINE, through Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
The course will include free induction material. The workshops have been well-researched. I will have them peer-reviewed.
REFER TO THE ATTACHED PDF on what will be covered in the four workshops, and the cost of each, which is: $60 per workshop- I hope I've kept this as reasonable as possible in this current economic climate!
*NOTE* I'm open to the idea of people paying what fee they can fairly afford, instead of the set rate.
My background is as a sports freelance writer. I have been published by Stuff, the Herald and newsroom.co.nz (LockerRoom). I also teach English to second language learners.
I worry for the future of news, around issues of integrity and ethics...
My goal is that workshop participants will care enough about the subject of news to want to become active in protecting its value and trust. And for participants to perhaps consider becoming involved in the media field through freelancing or more.
Any questions, most welcome.

Phase 1 of the project prepares the road (drains, roadside edge, and footpaths) and will take 9 weeks with night works for much of that.
The road will be fully closed during the day for the first week, from Sunday 21st to Sunday 28th September with a detour in place. There will also be day works for a week after that.
Phase 2 is the road rebuild and resurfacing to make it stronger and longer lasting. it will be carried out in Late December, with more info on that to come.
More information: haveyoursay.at.govt.nz...
Phase 1 includes:
• Installing new underground drains
• Replacing the old footpath and roadside drains
• Upgrading stormwater system
• Laying new concrete footpath and roadside edge
• Final resurfacing with new asphalt
• Expect traffic delays, especially during peak times. We will need to temporarily close bus stops, and some services will be affected – please use the AT mobile app or the QR codes on posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.
• Temporary vehicle access to local properties will be maintained, however this access won’t be available on the day of concrete pours and whilst the concrete cures. Residents will be contacted 24 hours prior to the concrete pours to help accommodate any specific needs. If your driveway is restricted, you will need to park nearby and walk home. On-street parking will be limited.
• Footpaths will remain accessible to local residents.
• Council waste and recycling collection will continue as normal. If access to your bin collection spot is restricted, our team will assist you with an alternative location.
• Bus stops may move, but we’ll manage access to homes. Please use the AT mobile app or posters available at the effected bus stops for more information.
