Free Figs, Medieval Fighting, and Tournament Fundrasing
Our fig tree has still got figs - would anyone like to come and grab some? No charge because you do all the work of harvesting. Think of all that yummy jam and chutney you could make! We have very technology advanced tools to help you - an unbent coat hanger for reaching, a tyre in the tree as a platform, and egg cartons to transport your fig rewards back to your house.
I am representing New Zealand at international medieval fighting tournaments in Italy and Scotland this year in May. For a look at my fighting and travel itinerary, you can see it on my fundraising video.
I have set myself the target of raising $5k (NZ) and I would greatly appreciate it if you share my video with others, encourage donations to my fighting funds, and wish me luck.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
