Putting the Fun in Fundraising

John from Karori

Hi neighbours (near and far). This is an opportunity to have a great night out with the family, and all for a good cause.

Hi neighbours (near and far). This is an opportunity to have a great night out with the family, and all for a good cause.

In 2012, I was lucky enough to travel to Antarctica with 50-odd others. I had the pleasure of the company of award-winning comedian Te Radar on that trip, and saw his fascination and engagement with the place grow along the way. After we had returned, I was delighted to learn he had put together a show about the unique and downright odd history of Antartica. He performed this in Christchurch at the IceFest (where it was very well received), and subsequently in Auckland (ditto). Given he had not previously performed it in Wellington, Cardinal McKeefry School (which my children attend) thought it would a magnificent opportunity to get him to put it on as a joint venture with the school. Finally, it's about to happen... Te Radar is a supreme performer, and family friendly (although he notes that references to self-surgery may be a little strong for very young stomachs). This a great opportunity to have a fun, educational night out with the family.
See the attached poster for details. Grab a ticket, and see you there! And if, for any reason, you can't make it, please promote it as widely as you can.

Wellington, Hutt Valley & Porirua routes face disruption - Thursday

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Some of Wellington's bus drivers will strike from tomorrow, but exactly how many are set to down tools remains unclear. The routes which will be affected are operated by Tranzurban, which has been unable to reach a collective agreement with the Tramways Union.

Some of Wellington's bus drivers will strike from tomorrow, but exactly how many are set to down tools remains unclear. The routes which will be affected are operated by Tranzurban, which has been unable to reach a collective agreement with the Tramways Union.

How can I check?

- Public transport provider Metlink is also unsure how the strike will play out, and is urging commuters to check their bus route before they travel. They can do this on the Metlink app or website, which the organisation says will be kept as up-to-date as possible throughout the strike. Alternatively call the Metlink team on 0800 801 700.

- The only Wellington City routes operated by Tranzurban are numbers 1, 7, 17, 19, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 29. The rest of Wellington City routes are operated by NZ Bus, whose drivers will not strike despite a deal not being reached there either. Full list of affected lines here.

While the strike is set down to end on November 30, union secretary Kevin O'Sullivan says that was an arbitrary date chosen only because strike notices legally required an end date.
