NEW Women-Only Zumba Fridays at the Hub! Just $2 & kid-friendly <3
Fitclub at the Hub is excited to offer a new, women-only Zumba class, Fridays 10am at the Phillipstown Community Hub (Room 4).
This class was especially created for migrant and refugee women (and their kids!) who may require or prefer a closed, male-free environment to exercise in comfortably. However, all women in the community are welcomed, as we'd love to create a warm social atmosphere and forge new connections and friendships <3
This class is just $2, and all preschool and school age children are welcome to come along. We provide snacks and toys - a contribution to our communal snack box is welcomed but not compulsory!
Wednesday (open) and Friday (women-only) Zumba classes at Fitclub at the Hub are led by Lisa Clarke, a vivacious and wonderfully engaging instructor who melds Latin flavour and contemporary music and moves for an awesome fun workout that will leave you feeling fabulous. We welcome you to try out our extremely affordable Zumba sessions in Phillipstown!
Thank you to Sport Canterbury for partnering with us to bring this initiative to life. More info here: www.sportcanterbury.org.nz...

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

Paddy Gower seeks ‘bloody great Cantab’
The Kiwi journalist drilling deep into the country’s biggest issues is on a mission to find the local greats.
Paddy Gower is looking for the Good Kiwi in every region to feature in his show, The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour.
To nominate a Good Kiwi, email reporters@press.co.nz with the name and a description of why your nominee should win. You an also share the local issues you think Paddy needs to tackle in the comments below.
It could be the woman whose knitting circle has made 3800 items for victims of domestic violence, the guy running the length of Aotearoa for mental health, or the woman with terminal cancer who spends her time campaigning to raise awareness and save lives.
“Basically I am looking for ... a bloody great Cantab who just gets on and gets things done. The criteria is somebody who has a positive attitude and makes the community a better place," Gower said.
“I will give this person the 'Big Ups' they deserve, and the community can celebrate them with me.”
A Good Kiwi will feature in each of Gower’s live shows in 14 centres through November and December. He will name the Cantabrian Good Kiwi at his Christchurch show on the evening of Friday, November 22, at St Margaret’s College.
The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour is a sort of book tour, sort of stand-up comedy, some journalistic yarns and memoir, and some motivational speaking - with a fair bit of local in each show.
Gower also wants to know about topics of interest in the region.
“I’m ... going to be taking on a big issue facing Canterbury and offering up solutions.”
A stinky suburb, a neighbourhood needing a round-about or a cathedral in disrepair - “I will make your views count”, he said.
“I'm touring the nation to spread positivity, optimism and good vibes.”
