WHOOPIE

John from Hutt Central

Hi Friend

This has been my passion project for the last 7 years ...building a Visitor Centre to allow regular visits to the oldest building in Wellington, built in the early 1850s by the first settlers, whose Arrival in 1840 we commemorate on Wellington Anniversary Day January 22nd. See Facebook "Christ Church Taita Visitor Centre"


The tiny church watches over the graves of the same settlers and their new friends, Maori as well as Pakeha, a symbol of Peace in an angry violent world



A number of people said it couldn't be done and refused to back it. It involved raising $400,000 in difficult times for building .. . We were dogged by Covid, advancing age and other problems. But HEY WE DID it!



Moral of the story: Have faith and IT WILL HAPPEN.



CHRISTMAS JOY TO YOU AND YOURS

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? πŸ’°πŸŒ²

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?
