Plimmerton Rotary goes Bowling

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

And the bowling ...
Bryan Waddle took over from President Bill as emcee for the evening and did a great job of entertaining the troops and generally causing mayhem. The bowling culminated in a competition, with everyone bowling their balls from one corner to the other across all the lawns. There were some interesting results! Booby prizes were awarded for the worst bowl (Marg), clearing the corner and landing in the ditch (John), worst performance of the night (Philip). Second prize went to Nigel Brown, and the winner was our newest member, Dallas, who managed to get within a metre of the corner with inveterate skill (although she claimed it was a complete fluke). Bryan is in the photo, not because he won a prize but because he made it such fun for everyone. And, as he said, he couldn't have done it without the background help which always comes from Les who was watching the dramas unfold from a strategic position on the side-line.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
