    A Tale of Four Matches This Time...

    • 12 Jul 2010
    • Brooklyn Northern United AFC
    • Oops - I have been a bit lazy with the write-ups! Las Vegas is now a distant memory and I’ve forgotten a lot of what happened in the games so I’m thinking this will be brief (and hopefully not too fictional)…! It’s also worth noting that we’re still waiting for some proper commentary from somebody who actually played on the Queen’s Birthday weekend game – any volunteers…?!? ;-)

Monday it was pithing down but by chance the timetable was for a tour of Ibrox.

• • The rates go up, then up and down

    • 29 Mar 2011
    • Wellington Scoop
    • The Wellington City Council yesterday announced an add-on to next year’s budget – an extra $120,000 “to improve community emergency preparedness.” In the same announcement, we’re told that the average rates increase is going up to 4.4 per cent from the previously announced 4.3 per cent. Curiously, the council also tells us that rates increases for homeowners and commercial property owners will be coming down.

    I love trees but not sure about this project...any views?

    • 4 Jun 2014
    • Iona Pannett
    • Thanks to Karen Fifield for pointing out this project to me of growing a forest within an apartment building in Milan. Brilliant to green our buildings but wondering how it would be to live in such a place and whether the dominance of the trees takes something away from the building. But a good effort, integrating the built and natural environment well remains a challenge.

    • In the line of an old Abba song, The Winner takes it All, and so it was in the 2008 Wellington Civic Trust awards last night. A friendly Fish-monger sends in this report from the ceremony in Te Papa: The evening started off promptly, no time for drinkies (or Studio Pacific - who missed out on the news they had won the first prize of the evening by a good 5 minutes!), before leaping straight into the Awards ceremonies. First up was the award for best building in Wellington (constructed in the last 3 years).

    Wellington City Council – Little Miss Muffet and Pinocchio

    • 17 Aug 2010
    • Keith Johnson
    • Just to follow on a little from my previous story about the Te Kopahou (Red Rocks) Reserve and the alleged treasonous behaviour of the voting public in Southern Ward in wanting to preserve its integrity. At the Strategy and Planning Committee meeting that I attended a couple of weeks back, senior Councillor Andy Foster (who is a sort of Pinocchio look-alike Muppet) laid it on heavily that the community owed the Council for the $750,000 that it had spent in purchasing the obsolescent Owhiro Bay Quarry for the Reserve.

• • Farewell to coach Cliff Roberts

    • 26 Feb 2022
    • Tawa Swimming Club
    • It's with regret that we farewell Cliff Roberts as a coach from Tawa Swimming Club. Anyone who knows of our club will recognise Cliff as he has been a constant poolside. Cliff started coaching with the club when his son Justin joined the club 16 years ago. Cliff started off as a volunteer coach at club level before moving into a coaching position in our junior competitive squads. He also qualified as a national IOT and has acted in that capacity for the club for a number of years.

• • Amalgamation: who’s in charge?

    • 30 Nov 2012
    • Wellington Scoop
    • Timing is everything. While most of Wellington was recovering from the Hobbit celebrations, Parliament yesterday passed the controversial Local Government Act. And the PSA’s Brenda Pilott, who watched the debate, said the new law was unwanted, undemocratic, just plain bad … “a grim day for communities.” Similar comments were made in June, when Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown warned that the new legislation was ill-considered and undemocratic. She said it would allow local authorities to be amalgamated without a poll being held … thus limiting the opportunity for communities to have their say on local governance.

• • Result: Shaw Baton Relay

    • 26 Apr 2015
    • Olympic Harriers
    • Conditions were pretty good for the running of the 2015 Shaw Baton Relays being somewhat cloudy overhead with a bit of a northerly breeze. The course had to be altered somewhat due to trimming of pine trees not far from the start of the leg. This meant that times were faster than in previous years, which gives encouragement to those of us who are getting a bit older. There was good support for the event this year with 548 individual results in the relays (this will include some people running twice).
