    • pop along to the bookfair
      • The DCM Book Fair is on this weekend at the TSB Arena on Wellington's Queens Wharf. On sale will be books, magazines, records, CDs, puzzles, stamps, artworks and DVDs. I was one of their helpers in setting up books this afternoon and i can confirm there are some supremly awesome bargains to be had. Plus you can feel smug about doing good things. The Book Fair raises many valuable dollars towards DCM's work with those who struggle in the city. and that can never be a bad thing.

The match is to be played between Mana College and Wellington College. As detailed in a story in the Dom Post, Mana has made a dramatic rise through the grades after starting the year in premier two and being promoted mid-season, and to have made it to the final is nigh-on miraculous.
