Pickleball, a fun sport for all ages, shapes and sizes
Have you heard of pickleball? It's a fun paddle sport enjoyed by millions of people worldwide.
A cross between tennis, badminton and table tennis (or ping pong), pickleball is played on a badminton doubles-sized court using paddles and a hollow plastic ball with holes – also known as a wiffle ball. The net is slightly lower than a tennis net.
Pickleball is fun, social and friendly. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.
Pickleball Hawkes Bay's home base is 707 Sylvan Rd, Hastings where we have nine outdoor courts. We also play at Napier indoor venues Rodney Green Arena and Meeanee Badminton Hall. Take a look at the 'Featured' section of our Facebook page, link below, for club days and times or feel free to contact me directly for more info. We supply paddles and balls so you only need court shoes. Mon/Wed/Fri from 3 pm, Sat from 1 pm and Sun from 9 am at Sylvan Road are good days for beginners as there is always someone who can teach you. Fair warning, though, it's highly addictive.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
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?

POTTING MIX QUALITY
If, like me, you are an experienced and avid gardener you know how frustrating it is when those beautiful seedlings recently purchased fail to thrive. Have you ever considered it may not be your fault, you've done all the right things but it may be the new bag of potting mix you bought to plant them in . Have you ever complained to the garden centre? My recent experience showed the blatantly obvious difference between brands. The recently purchased product was nothing more than raw compost, whereas the previous product was a good mix and made the plants thrive. I was the only one to complain, there could not possibly be a problem with the product as they sell pallet loads of it........ Your comments would be appreciated.
