Rich tapestry of clubs in Wellington
- Wellington Club Weekly
- Above: The then captains of Wellington's second and third oldest clubs that are still in existence, Eugene Smith (Petone, founded in 1885) and Misipalauni Moananu (Poneke, 1883) leading their sides out on to Kilbirnie Park on the occasion of Poneke's 125th anniversary celebrations in 2008As at the end of 2013, the Wellington Rugby Football Union had 18 member clubs affiliated to it, all of who have had at least one team taking part in the WRFU’s competitions; but what of the history of the club game in the capital? A perusal of the lists of championship winners, and the names engraved on the Jubilee and Hardham Cups themselves; reveal a number of names that have since disappeared; and many other names have also come and gone from the roll of clubs...

Steve Guttenberg shows us how a Kiwi accent is done
- Jack Yan
- Back in September, The Dominion Post claimed on its front page that I have an ‘accent’ that is holding me back. It was a statement which the editor-in-chief subsequently apologized for, and which she had removed from the online edition—you can judge for yourself here if the claim was a falsehood. Still, despite having lived […]

Extending plantings of waterfront shade trees
- Wellington City Council
- This is to ask Wellington City Council to extend the plantings of shade trees around all the city beaches to provide shade from the sun to beach goers. In particular this should be done along the foreshores of Seatoun Beach, Lyall Bay, Princess Bay, Houghton Bay and Island Bay; as well as any other suitable beaches in Wellington. I suggest Norfolk pines and northern rata as suitable tree species.

One of my first encounters with the Red Light issue was when submitting on cycling at a Council meeting, and a Councillor (no longer […]

Open for the holidays?
- The Wellingtonista
- As a town of public servants, it seems like much of Wellington shuts down for a month from Christmas until Anniversary Day. People deserve holidays, sure, but if they have the misfortune of being back at work in the summer, they gotta be able to get coffee, right? We’re compiling a list of bar/cafe/restaurant holidays […] The post Open for the holidays? appeared first on The Wellingtonista.
