Hi all. Is anyone interested in playing a game called archery combat? If you haven't heard of it before, think of dodgeball but with bows and foam tipped arrows. The game is insanely fun, and even if you haven't picked up a bow before, you will be shooting like a pro in no time.

If you're keen, check out our meetup page here: meetu.ps... for more information and to sign up.
Games are $20 per person for 1.5 hours, which includes all equipment and an archery lesson for newcomers. The next game is on Sat 24 April. See you there :)

Should pokie machines be outlawed?
A city councillor has put forward a policy to ban new permits for pokie machines in Wellington City.
Councillor Tamatha Paul, representing the Lambton Ward, is pushing for a 'sinking lid' policy to all but cease new permits for pokie machines in the city. The motion has widespread support across the council table and is set to pass this Thursday.
New Zealanders lost $939 million in pokie machines in 2019 and $241m of that was paid out to community and sports groups. Between 30 and 60 per cent of money going into pokie machines was from problem gamblers and much of that came from low socio-economic communities, a paper by the Problem Gambling Foundation said.

This is because watering restrictions have now been eased for Metropolitan Wellington and South Wairarapa 👏
“Community action in limiting water use, paired with the hot summer peak use period coming to an end, means we are confident about removing watering restrictions across the region” says Laurence Edwards, Chief Advisor Drinking Water.
Please continue to be mindful of water use as the rivers, lakes and aquifers recover. 💧
Please remember that alternate day, odds-evens watering still applies in Upper Hutt, and South Wairarapa as it does all year round.
