First time and well seasoned actors are equally welcome.
For those thespians with too little time to learn lines and attend rehearsals several times a week, we think that “Love Letters” by A R Gurney is the ideal type of play – no lines to learn and very few rehearsals. We will require one male and one female aged from mid-40s upwards, who can display excellent timing and characterisation and be versatile enough to make swift changes in vocal and facial expression.
There will be 6 or 7 performances over the 2 weeks 8 – 22 March 2020. If you are interested but are unable to make the auditions please contact Margaret Jesson: info@limelight.org.nz
Can anyone recommend a local business that can supply, and more importantly regularly service, a backup generator for home?
We’re not looking for anything big; probably 3000W+ inverter for the water pump etc when the power goes out.
There’s plenty of generators available for mail order over … View moreCan anyone recommend a local business that can supply, and more importantly regularly service, a backup generator for home?
We’re not looking for anything big; probably 3000W+ inverter for the water pump etc when the power goes out.
There’s plenty of generators available for mail order over the internet but I’m keen to get something that can be regularly serviced locally (so that it’s going to work when we really need it).
Tis the season... let's help make other's holidays more merry and bright.

This is a quote form my book- The Mind Mechanic- that came into my head after hearing of the eruption..
I felt could not be more fitting as we all process this devastation from the eruption of White Island.
"Whatia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me he maunga teitei"

See the treasures you value most dearly,and if you must bow your head, let it be to a lofty mountain".
Aroha to all those who weep today.

However this morning the pump experienced an electrical fault, which means there is no water pumping from the bore and reservoir levels are going down. We have our team on site working on a replacement as fast as possible.
The total outdoor water ban is still in place, and the community is encouraged to continue with their water conservation efforts. If the township uses more water than we can supply from the low-manganese bore, we will have to use the other bores as well. That could mean the town’s drinking water becoming discoloured.
