• • Where do you stand?

    • 14 Sep 2010
    • WCC Watch
    • The PSA have launched a website “asking for candidates across the country to sighn up to an anti-privatisation pledge” (their description not mine). Where Do You Stand? Given almost no one in Wellington is making noises about it, it does seem somewhat redundant (and I’m sure anyone who is in favour of privitisation will simply ignore the PSA), but good on them for doing something.

    • WCC Watch
    • The first full council meeting for the 2010-2013 trianeum is this Thursday the 11th, starting at 9:15. They have not uploaded an agenda for the meeting, but once it is finalised it will be here. We won’t be able to make it to the meeting, but will be looking forward to reports. It will be fascinating to see the dynamics of the new council.

• • Junior Swimming Sports 2011

    • 17 Feb 2011
    • St Patricks College, Silverstream
    • Thursday 17 February 2011: With its own pool, Stream is one of the few schools to still hold its own swimming sports. And on a gloriously sunny Upper Hutt day, the unheated pool was just the place to be. With a mix of competitive championship races and all-in participation races (for House points), it is an opportunity for all students to get involved and have fun.

• • Result: Masters Road Race

    • 29 Jul 2013
    • Olympic Harriers
    • The cold, windy, wet and miserable conditions kept a lot of those who usually support this Masters event away. Nevertheless, 22 hardy souls fronted up for the event – thank you. This year 20 runners and only 2 walkers took part. As fastest male walker over the hilly 6.4km (four-lap) course Murray Gowans (Scottish) has this honour and Daphne Jones (Scottish) for the women.
