Summer netball for everyone!
Looking for a way to keep fit, have fun, and stay social this Summer?
We are excited to be expanding our Summer League for Term 4 to include Year 1&2 Junior Netball and Senior Walking Netball, as well as our existing Year 3-8 Junior Netball, College and Senior Netball (adult) grades.
Walking Netball is a modified form of the game with no running or jumping so it's perfect for those returning to exercise after a break or injury.
This term we are also trialling a new 'Open' grade with no restrictions on gender balance within teams to replace our College Mixed and Senior Mixed grades. You just need 7 players to make up an Open team.
More details below:
- 8-week league from 23/24 October to 11/12 December
- Wednesday afternoons/evenings @ Windmill Park Mount Eden
- Thursday afternoons/evenings @ St Johns
- Team and individual entry available for all grades

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
