    Public Service 11 vs Upper Hutt 1

    • 23 Jun 2007
    • Brooklyn Northern United AFC
    • We racked up another good score, but the Public Service left Upper Hutt a little deflated as we pretty much let the Upper Hutt Slayers (UHS) off the hook. The final score will show a command performance by the BNU Public Service, winning 11 goals to one. But with a 7-1 half time lead, it should have been much, much greater.

    • 10 Jul 2024
    • Salient
    • Wellington is facing growing concerns over the safety of its night-time venues. A survey conducted by Salient, comprising responses from over a hundred students across various academic years, paints a stark picture of the current state of club safety. In our survey, over 75% of students responded that they had felt unsafe at at least one of Wellington’s nightclub venues.

    • Among the various items on the agenda of the recent Waterfront Development Subcommittee meeting was a review of Waitangi Park. There are five separate PDFs to download there, including a survey of park users and an interesting quantitative study of which sections of the park were being used and when, but the guts of the report is a large tabular Design Quality Audit.

"It will be a chance for a few players to recover from injury so we won't be doing any hard training this week" said Hall "we're mindful that even superb athletes like those in the Rovers squad need time out for other activities".

    Wellington Hospital - the 800lb gorilla sitting in the corner that no one admits is there

    • 20 May 2008
    • Eye of the Fish
    • For the last two years since the demolition of the antiquated Wellington hospital, a massive construction has been taking place in Newtown, balanced on its giant rubber base-isolated foundations. Yes it’s too late to ignore it anymore - the hospital has reached a state of completion that, while still some way to go, affords us a chance to review the progress so far.

    • But as a coach of a Division 7 football team in Brooklyn, its been a frustrating year with the weather. All to often grounds are closed or games are called off. This is understandable, as its better not to cut the grounds up, and miss out on training or playing on those very same grounds for another 2 weeks or more.

But a bar is not just about the pretty, so how does it stack up? See what the 'fly thinks after the jump. read more

    • 12 Mar 2024
    • Thistle Hall Community Venue
    • The uniting visual theme of this art exhibition is the broccoli, which our team has embraced as a symbol of queer joy and frivolity during this difficult time for our rainbow communities. With transphobia and online hate speech continuing to rise, we wanted to create a space of joy and silliness that gave a platform to rainbow artists of all generations and backgrounds.

Almost 20 years later, the Wellington Regional Council (with Fran Wilde as chair) has supported a proposal which will cause an equal amount of damage at the opposite end of the wide boulevard.

    Farewell Blanket Man

    • 15 Jan 2012
    • Eye of the Fish
    • Since this is a blog devoted to the city of Wellington and its sense of place I can’t imagine that we could not mention his death. He was a permanent fixture of the streets of Wellington and was a bit of the spirit that, for me at least (and clearly others), made this city the interesting place it is to be.

Well, they’ve had a good, long think about it, and this morning’s paper announces that they’ve come up with a brilliant idea: A Wellywood sign.

    New (temporary) home for Capital E

    • Great news that temporary premises have been found for Capital E after their building was found to be earthquake prone. But this is a compromise space so a new venue must be found and space identified for a new indoor play area for the pre-schoolers. Working on the latter issue with members of the community.

    • After years of trying to work a live performance schedule around All Black Tests and Super Rugby fixtures, guitarist Andrew London has decided to try a different approach, and deliberately offer a ‘rugby free’ alternative for those who are either unmoved by the oval ball’s adventures, or are happy to record the game and come out for some pre-match entertainment.

    • Where to start when describing Aleister Crowley? Born 12 October 1875, he is best known as one of the most famous occultists in the world. He created a new religious philosophy called Thelema, and collaborated with artist Lady Frieda Harris to create the Thoth tarot deck. He was a mountaineer, writer, and painter - and a conterversial figure, then and today.

    Perfectly Imperfect

    • 25 Nov 2019
    • St Vincent de Paul Society
    • This is how my work is often described. As a textile artist, garment designer and maker, I never make anything that doesn’t have imperfections. Some are deliberate but most emerge as part of the creative process of experimenting and innovating, as I problem-solve my way from pieces of textile on a table, to a finished garment that is ready to wear.
