Chinese Calligraphy: An Introduction to Oracle Bone Scripture
Oracle bone scripture (甲骨文) is the earliest known form of Chinese writing and it dates back to 1200BC in China.
War Memorial Library, Sunday 1 September, 2:30pm
Whether you are interested in Chinese culture or expression through writing and painting please join us for an introduction to Oracle bone writing with Yu-Mei Lin!
Includes a chance to practice the writing yourself. All ages welcome.
Please note this was incorrectly advertised in the Hutt News this week as starting at 11am - unfortunately the War Memorial Library doesn't open until 12:15 on Sundays!
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
