Come along and meet five of NZ’s Rio 2016 Paralympians at the event. Triple Paralympian, Para sailor Andrew May (Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Rio 2016) will return for the event in his home town and will be joined by double bronze medallist, 17-year-old sprint sensation William Stedman and Rio 2016 debutant, javelin thrower Caitlin Dore.

A total fire ban is being put in place across Christchurch and Banks Peninsula as the fire risk in the area escalates.
A restricted fire season has been in place since mid January but with the countryside drying out and more warm weather predicted, Christchurch City Council Principal Rural Fire Officer Darrin Woods has decided to declare a prohibited fire season.
The total fire ban will come into effect as of midnight on Saturday, February 11 and will remain in force until the fire risk lessens.
Mr Woods said the current conditions in the Christchurch City Council Rural Fire District were somewhat unusual for this time of the year.
“While the Port Hills and some other parts of the city appear very brown there is still a deceptive tinge of green across the area. However, the amount of fuel available to burn is substantial and any ignitions under warm windy conditions are likely to be successful and sustained.
“Imposing the prohibition is a proactive measure to try and reduce the risk of unwanted and potentially damaging fires,’’ Mr Woods said.
During the prohibition the lighting of all fires in the open air is banned, including barbecues and other such devices which use or contain solid fuels. Gas fuelled barbecues and gas cookers can still be used.
Mr Woods said some special permits for fires might be issued during the prohibition but they would typically be limited to biosecurity and public health related matters. Such requests would be carefully considered on a case by case basis.
He urged anyone who spotted a fire or smoke to call 111 immediately as early detection could minimise the damage.

As mentioned in the givealittle we have had a $17,000 vet bill for January and am asking if anyone can donate a little monies to the cause. Every $5 + you donate to givealittle (they will provide a receipt) where you can claim back 30% in your year end tax calculation. Small donations by a lot of people all add up to a lot. This is the silly kitten session and hence costs are always high at this time.
We are busy collecting free fruit and jars and making jams/chutney's and fresh tomato and plum sauce to sell at our stalls and making crafts (custions and cat beds etc) with donated goods. So we are trying to fundraise anyway we can with lots of volunteer support.
We will have a stall at the Sumner Market this Sunday the 12th and the Halswell Market on the 26th so would love to see you.
I have attached two recent articles about what we do and how we help stray cats and the resulting kittens that come from unsprayed animals.
Any questions please go to our website or pm me and ask.
Thanks for reading
