A brief summary of the official meeting procedures is followed by a mini-talk, then afternoon tea followed by a guest speaker. This month our guest speaker is Professor Catherine Theys, from the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation. Her subject is Stuttering. It should be very interesting. There will be time afterwards to mix and mingle some more if you wish.
The meeting will start sharp at 2pm so it's best to arrive a little bit early! There is no charge for your first three visits while you decide whether this group is for you or not.
We would love to see you - you will be made very welcome. PM me for further infomation or visit

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.
Money — the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business — is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)
We hope this news brings a smile!

I discovered I was an addict to food.
Before joining Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA), I never really understood what addiction was. I thought only "bad" people had addictions. It turns out addiction isn’t limited to alcohol and drugs; it also includes food. Addiction is an illness that does not discriminate, and being an addictive eater has nothing to do with being good or bad.
My life, as an addictive eater, was a struggle.

We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!
But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...
We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?
Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.

The only mainland Royal Albatross breeding colony in the world can be found at Dunedin's Taiaroa Head. The Albatross are largest (and arguably the prettiest) seabird and is a taonga species to Māori.

Keen to see a fluffy royal albatross live? Head to the Royal Cam - a 24-hour live stream of an albatross nest.
Why the live feed? Well, the royal albatross are slow-breeding birds, and lay only one egg every two years.
Currently the chick in the feed is in its post-guard period, and is left alone. The parents are only returning with food every few days. This little chick will be hitting a milestone really soon - it will finally take their first flight in September! Keep an eye on our little celebrity here.
