Will you watch Saturday's Blues vs Chiefs final?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

When Jimmy Tupou left for Japan in 2018, never did he think he’d ever be back in Super Rugby, let alone playing in, and for that matter, starting, a final.

But, after the pull of family brought him back to New Zealand last year, here he is, age 31 and the oldest member of the Chiefs squad, … View more
When Jimmy Tupou left for Japan in 2018, never did he think he’d ever be back in Super Rugby, let alone playing in, and for that matter, starting, a final.

But, after the pull of family brought him back to New Zealand last year, here he is, age 31 and the oldest member of the Chiefs squad, proving an instrumental figure in their second-row, and heading to Eden Park on Saturday with the chance to make up for some heartache of a decade prior.

Annual Matariki Multicultural Tree Planting
Saturday 6 July 2024, 10:30am-1:30pm

EarthDiverse, the Waikato Interfaith Council, the Hamilton City Council, the Waikato Multicultural Council, Matariki ki Waikato, the Bahá’í Community, (and many other other partners) are co-organising a Community-wide tree planting event to take place in Hamilton on Saturday 6 July 2024, 10:30am-1:30pm (This year’s event will take place Rain or Shine). Please use the Rotokauri Rd entrance, opposite Kourataki Rd instead of the entrance across from the Zoo. If you use the new entrance across from the Zoo you won’t find us as we’ll be on the other side of the Park!

Bring a spade or shovel, gumboots, appropriate outdoor weather gear (e.g. hat, rain gear, sunglasses), some gardening gloves, water and a big smile. If you don’t want to dig there are other ways to help out (like bringing a small food donation, or helping with setting out and serving a light lunch). A light lunch will be served (courtesy of EarthDiverse, Kaivolution, Go Eco, Waikato Interfaith Council, the Bahá’í Community, Ahmaddiyya Muslim Community, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Trust, and others). Any ready to eat food donations (e.g. bread, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, baked goods, UHT milk, tea bags, instant coffee, juice, etc.) will be much appreciated. Please bring your own plates, cutlery or mugs in order to minimise waste. 100 people would mean planting 5-10 saplings each.

This event is free, family-friendly and fun! Open to all. Mark this date in your diaries now. Come and help offset your carbon usage!

Organisers:

• 9:30-10:00am: set up marquees, booths, tables, food, etc.

Schedule:

• 10:15-10:30am: arrive and find parking on Rotokauri Rd.

• 10:30-11:00am: Intro, welcome and health & safety briefing at carpark

• 11:00-12:15pm: plant saplings in Waiwhakareke reserve

• 12:15-1:30pm: shared free buffet lunch; mingling and networking


NOTE: Please do not use the car park across from the Zoo entrance on Brymer Rd this year due to ongoing development work. Please park along Rotokauri Rd and Kourataki Road. Helpers will be there to guide you. Once parked, enter Waiwhakareke via the Rotokauri Road Gate. Marquees and tables for organising groups can be set up just inside the gate. We will gather here, just inside the Rotokauri Rd gate for our 10:30am orientation, then we will walk to the tree planting area. The light lunch will be served near the Rotokauri gate.
