There's still time to try out some Spin Poi this week!

Deb from Kilbirnie

Three more Intro to Spin Poi classes lined up, and one Open class if you've played with poi before. All are free or koha. No need to book, just turn up. Poi provided. Although they are Seniors week events, all ages are welcome.

* Thursday, 12 Nov, 4pm - Intro to Spin Poi - Kilbirnie Community Centre (temporary premises behind Farmers) - if you can't make it for 4pm, I will be doing a short taster at 3.30pm as well.
* Thursday, 12 Nov, 5pm - Spin Poi Open class (ongoing) - Kilbirnie Community Centre
* Friday, 13 Nov, 11.30am - Intro to Spin Poi - Karori Community Centre
* Saturday, 14 Nov, 10am - Intro to Spin Poi - Strathmore Park Community Centre

SpinPoi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted by Dr Kate Riegle van West to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination. For more information on SpinPoi, and to see people playing with poi, go to www.spinpoi.com...

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? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

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.
