Somersaulting Wgtn councillor
If it were not for an injury in 2018, Wellington City Cr Sean Rush would still be competing in gymnastics, aged 51.
It was a sport he got into as a 9-year-old in Hawke’s Bay. By his teen years he was representing New Zealand. At the age of 15 he got a near-perfect 9.9 score on the high beam at an Australian competition.
He gave it away but started again, aged about 40 in Calgary, Canada. When he returned to New Zealand he went to Capital Gym Sports in Newtown with hopes of competing again as a 50-year-old. But that dream ended when he “buggered” his knee doing a summersault.
He is just one of a number of councillors with a hidden talent
Poll: Is it ok to regift something that you have been given?
🎁 Holiday Gift Chat!
Do you ever regift?
What’s your take on asking for a receipt if a gift doesn’t fit?
-
79.2% Yes! It's better to regift what I don't need
-
20.8% No. It's the thought and effort that matters
Stamps wanted
I run a Stamp club at Tawa School to encourage children to collect stamps and learn about countries, history and more. Unfortunately new stamps aren't often seen these days as it's all electronic! If you have any stamps or old collections sitting around, let me know and I'll come and get them.
Any recommendations for a good gardener?
Hi Lovely neighbours,
Just wondering if anyone has a good gardener they would recommend? Lawn moving only at this stage.
Thanks
Yvonne
