    • 27 Sep 2022
    • Victoria University of Wellington
    • Wellbeing may sound like a nebulous concept that is difficult to quantify, but social scientists can now get a pretty good idea of how it matters, thanks to Professor Arthur Grimes.

    • 1 Sep 2022
    • Victoria University of Wellington

• • Wellington Storm prizegiving 2023

    • 30 Dec 2023
    • Wellington Storm Floorball Club
    • Earlier this month, our annual prizegiving took place at Miramar Bowling Club - and despite some classic Wellington weather, there was a great turnout from club members and their families. Angus Stallmann, as acting president, gave a summary of the year (including tournaments Storm had attended or hosted, and how Storm players had performed on the international stage) before prize winners were announced. With the formalities out of the way, the rest of the evening involved a good amount of food, socialising, and a dose of nostalgia with a ‘name the player’ game of old Storm photos.

    • We had our 1st game on the new {Porirua} turf on Sunday and came away with a 2 - 0 win against YWCA! The new turf is very bouncy, is like playing on shag pile carpet! Hopefully will settle down after some use! A great goal scored by Sonja Jeffs on the left wing, was in the right spot at the right time for a beautiful cross from the right and nicely swept in! 2nd goal was a great deflection into the goal by Chrissy Potaka Kelly after a hit to the 'spot'! Good work by the Team! Lisa

    South Coast Surfs Up

    • 7 Oct 2009
    • Eye of the Fish
    • Although not an overly frequent frequenter to the suburbs, there is a certain feeling about being by the beach that we quite like: if we weren’t an urban blog, we’d be a seaside blog. Lyall Bay, home of Wellington’s best surf break, and a special spot for windsurfing and kite boarding, is a virtual paradise right on the edge of the capital city. At the edge of the Cook Straight, at times civilised, at other times wild beyond redemption, Lyall Bay is a fantastic place to be in the ‘burbs. In short, the Fish liked to dine at the Maranui Cafe.

    BNU Public Service 9 - {Porirua} City 1

    • 11 Jun 2007
    • Brooklyn Northern United AFC
    • Woo hoo. An excellent win on the weekend. A comprehensive thrashing of a team that probably should have done better but was beaten down by a Public Service that is starting to come into its own once again. An offence that has now realised 20 goals in its last three games and a defence that has given up only five goals in the ten matches played this season, suggest that this team is only getting better.

• • Bus woes

    • 4 Sep 2007
    • The Wellingtonista
    • I've avoided it as long as I can but I'm going to have to start laying into the Wellington buses. This will serve two purposes -- to gather a weight of evidence with which to construct a platform from which I can launch a series of more formal remonstrances; and possibly more importantly, to make me feel better. I have begun a journal of woe -- chronicling my problems and frustrations -- and you can join in too, if you want.

• • Cinephilia: Film Festival preview

    • 16 Jul 2008
    • The Wellingtonista
    • The Film Festival has been a fixture of Wellington's winter calendar for nearly 40 years and for those of us who organise our lives around glowing rectangles of one kind or another there is no better way to spend a cold and wet afternoon than in the comfy leather chairs at the Embassy, engrossed in a work of art. Programming a Festival like Wellington may seem easy but I can assure you it's getting tougher every year.

    • A cold, wet, muddy and steamy draw (BNU 1 – Kapiti 1) You can’t beat Wellington on a good day… and with hail stones the size of marbles, hundred-mile-an-hour gales and a wind chill factor of about minus 20, the BNU girls took to the pitch at Happy Valley.  These were perfect conditions for some slip-sliding muddy tackles and desperate attempts to send a wet, brown ball in the vague direction of th

• • Review: Clybourne Park

    • 12 Sep 2012
    • The Wellingtonista
    • In 1959 a couple sell their house. At 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, their neighbours casually call in to see how packing is going. During the friendly discussion information about the buyers is revealed and tempers flare. In 2009 members of a community meet at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon to discuss neighborhood covenants before the new couple in the community start making alterations. Although their lives seem similar on the surface, their motivations are different, setting up conflict.
