Run No. 1637: Ian Galloway Park, Northland
- The run started just outside the previously mentioned club rooms, a good turn out. As per usual I heard a few mumbles from the hare and like everyone else I actually started to pay attention when a piss-stop was mentioned.

Open day - be there!
- ZL6QH Quartz Hill User Group
- There will be an open day at Quartz Hill for supporters, all radio amateurs, SWLs, their families and friends, on Sunday 4 February 2007 - from 11:00 am onwards. You will be able to view the Quartz Hill facilities. This may be your last chance to see this fabulous facility in its current form as it is likely that we will have to dismantle antenna infrastructure over the coming year (to make way for the wind farm project).

Waterfront tweaks: Taranaki St Wharf
- WellUrban
- As much as we Wellingtonians are happy to live in a "cold-yet-cultural" city, most of us would have to admit that this "summer" has been pretty gruelling. Which is why yesterday, with it's balmy temperatures and spectacular sunset, seemed to switch so many of us into outdoors mode for one delicious evening. Most of Waitangi Park was humming by about 5:30, but even though the lawn was relatively dry and looking sweetly bucolic with its lush grass and clover, it had attracted a grand total of eleven people, mostly on the berms around the edge.

Who’s your daddy?
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- While most birds will be spending their summer frantically flying round after their hungry broods, the shining cuckoo (pipiwharauroa) can look forward to a long, lazy holiday before heading back off to the winterless West Pacific.

The Southward Car Museum
- The Wellingtonista
- Looking for something to do with all these loooong, sunny days we're having? Let me recommend a trip to the Southward Car Museum, just north of Paraparaumu. Driving into the carpark you feel like you've spent back in time - to the 1960s.
