Come & learn some interesting Nelson history!
On 18 July 1874, Mrs Charlotte Boseley, landlady of the Bay View Hotel, Wakapuka, was found dead on a sofa at the hotel, under suspicious circumstances. (We believe that the Hotel was sited somewhere between the now Bay View Road and Malvern Avenue, Atawhai).
The drama continues ....
Melodramas revolve around the basic conflict between virtue and vice using one-dimensional stereotypical characters to represent absolute good or absolute evil and devices such as songs, asides (directly address to the audience), title boards and scenic visual effects- all accompanied by incidental music to clear up any doubt.
This play is written by Penny Taylor, who lives in Wakapuaka. She is a member of Histrionics, a not for profit group whose vision is to bring history to life in our community. You can find us on Facebook www.facebook.com.........
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
