    • 16 Sep 2020
    • Wellington Club Weekly
    • By Adam Julian It is 2013 when a diminutive and raucously outspoken halfback captured the attention of Dave Loveridge at an Old Boys University Colts practice. “Look at this unit,” Trapper quipped at 18-year-old Matt Fowler. The name stuck. “It’s an honour to be bestowed my nickname from Dave who boasts one of the great...

    Epee

    • 25 Sep 2022
    • Hutt Valley Fencing Club
    • While a special version of the foil was developed for practice, another type of sword was created for duelling.

Points can be … Continue reading Epee →

    Inevitable? Why one Basin flyover will be followed by a second Basin flyover

    • 12 Aug 2013
    • Wellington Scoop
    • The NZ Transport Agency should come clean on its flyover plans. Our practice believes that one flyover will pave the way for a second. The Agency’s proposed options for mitigation of the flyover, which it has developed in agreement with the Wellington City Council, include a “commitment to consolidate state highway traffic away from Vivian Street and into a single east-west corridor.”
