The workshop will run for 8 weeks for a cost of $30, which is deductible from a modest annual membership fee. At the end of the 8 week course you will be able to continue dancing on club nights. The workshop is to teach you the basic steps and formations to get you started. You don't need to be : fit or be Scottish or wear special clothing (loose fitting is ideal so you can move freely and soft-soled shoes are recommended - not trainers as they are too "grippy" on the wooden floor) and age is no barrier. Perhaps the children are now old enough to look after themselves for a few hours each Wednesday night to allow you to do something for yourself. It is a great way of making life-long friends and having fun, given the emphasis for Scottish Country Dancing is being social.

Do we need better animal welfare rules in Aotearoa?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

CDANZ estimates that around 250,000 dogs are chained up for their entire lives in Aotearoa. Animal welfare inspectors from the SPCA can do little for them and only in the most extreme cases can dogs be seized, and owners prosecuted, due to the resources involved.

TE AROHA MINERAL WATER
MAKING A COMEBACK!

Nowadays, Te Aroha Mineral Water is a homage to the town’s historical beverage.

Richard Revell spent his childhood enjoying Te Aroha Mineral Water and Lemon and Te Aroha – sipping the delicious fizzy drink after swims at his local swimming spot, Te Aroha Domain. After years of involvement in the production of carbonated beverages, his love of the drink led him back to his roots and the Whitaker Street spring in 2019.

Richard has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring back the great tasting mineral drink Kiwis know and love.

Using the same methods, our drinks are still naturally carbonated, bottled, and brought to you from the only hot soda water geyser.

Goodness preserved from source to serve.

Buy this historic great tasting drink from Naturally Healthy.
- soon available on line.
Available in great tasting Lemon. Still or Sparkling.

The company behind Hamilton-Kirikiriroa Airport has ditched plans to make the runway longer.

The airport boss says expert reports showed “no compelling argument” and international flights can be accommodated if the airlines want. But a Hamilton city councillor and airline figure said the decision makes the airport “an aviation backwater".
