The Crystal Palace theatre stood in the north-west corner of Cathedral Square from it's opening in 1918 to its demolition in 1986. It initially showed silent films, but was upgraded to show "talkies" in 1929.

It initially showed silent films, but was upgraded to show "talkies" in 1929. During the early 1930s it became the "All-British Theatre", showing only British films. 🇬🇧
The cinema was dwarfed by the neighbouring Government Life insurance built during the 1960s, and then in 1986 it was finally demolished to make way for the unremarkable "Crystal Plaza" shopping mall. Today, the site is part of the Te Pae complex; the iconic 32m tower stood roughly where the Cathedral Square entrance to Te Pae is today.
All of this was before my time, but it's been fascinating reading about how Cathedral Square was not only a public transport hub, a religious centre, but also an entertainment hub, with theatres all around the outside.

Hello, at some point between 10 am Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th 10:30am, I have lost my wedding ring. Gold with a unique pattern.

My Wife's ring is identical, and I'm quite sure these are the only two in New Zealand. There are no markings inside the ring.
possible place to have been found is Northlands Mall.
Between BNZ, and the car parks along the left hand side of the pedestrian crossing in the undercover carpark. not a valuable ring monetarily but personal and sentimental value.
Real Eggshells is taking a break tomorrow folks, to help Pat with some rehab therapy. Hope to be back in our usual place next Saturday. Thanks, Taylah

I am moving to Sydney as a work opportunity has presented itself; which also allows him to reconnect with daughters and a grandson living there.
I will retire from the Board effective 1st July 2025.
I have really enjoyed serving my community locally since 2016 on the Community Board, it has allowed me to support local groups and work with my colleagues to get good outcomes for our Community.
It did not feel right to continue serving on the Board in a paid capacity when from July I will no longer be in Christchurch.
I have raised this with my local Councillor Sam MacDonald who shares the view that now is the right time. It is my understanding that he will be recommending to the Community Board not to fill my spot given there would be a period July - October for the remainder of this term. This is allowed for under the Local Government Act and also means no cost to ratepayers.
MacDonald says "I have really enjoyed working with Shirish as a local community Board member, he has constantly been approachable to local residents and has assisted me enormously with local Board issues. I am thrilled Shirish can reconnect with his family in Australia, and it makes sense to not fill the Board seat given elections are just around the corner."
It has been a privilege to represent the people of Waimairi for three terms. I will always cherish these memories.
Needless to say, I will continue to follow the local government elections and other matters with keen interest.
Ma te wa.
