Summertime Karate Fitness Classes, Seido Karate Lower Hutt

Sean from Petone

Some of our junior student parents have expressed interest in attending daytime karate fitness classes at the dojo, so we have decided to hold trial Summertime Karate Fitness classes for the remainder of the year with the view to extending these into next year if interest is strong enough.

The invitation to join these classes is extended to anyone in the wider community who would like to work on their fitness and learn more about Seido Karate and our family values dojo.

These Karate Fitness classes will be headed by Sean Hill, one of our class instructors in our junior student classes.

If your weekly schedule allows you to have some spare time during the day and you would like to try karate fitness sessions, then you are very welcome to join us in these trial classes, whatever your level of fitness.

Classes will be Wednesday mornings at 11am, starting on Wednesday the 1st of November.

Casual sports / gym dress code, socks permitted but no shoes on the dojo mats please and bring your own drink bottles and training towels.

 A $5 fundraising donation to attend will apply for each of these trial classes.

 Please email your interest to Sean Hill directly at sean.hill.nz@gmail.com

We hope to see you soon!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

scumbags

Sandra from Waiwhetu

There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.

They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
