The theatre industry is calling for a change to regulations, which would see them doing away with social distancing and enforcing masks.
Those involved in the industry believe it is unfair you can 80 people on a bus you can only have a maximum of 100 people at a theatre. What do you think?

The project has had a set back with the theft of money raised at a pub quizz to help to offset the printing cost.
The bar was, however, broken in to over the weekend and a jar of cash stolen. Short publicised the situation on social media and was delighted when locals rallied around offering money, practical helps and offers to buy the calendar.
The calendar will now be going ahead and Short says he is delighted by the community support.

It's a NZ-documentary that is very relevant, unfortunately, to today's society: "The story of a young woman with the weight of a generation on her shoulders. Having survived her own suicidal struggles Jazz Thornton is a mental health activist, fighting to change how society and the system are dealing with young people like her. Ultimately this is a film about hope. It’s a film about redemption. It’s a challenge to all of us to try to understand".
This will be a confronting watch but, I personally believe, a starting point for discussion.
Monies will be donated to The Key to Life Charitable Trust (the amazing peeps who are responsible for I Am Hope and Gumboot Up).
I am so grateful to Paula's Home & Living and Parabeam for sponsoring this event by covering the cinema hireage. Their generous contributions will ensure that there are more funds going to help those most in need. Other local businesses have also been amazingly forthcoming with offers of refreshments and raffle prizes on the night (eg Fusion Food Haus, Adorn Jewellers, The Remedy).
Tickets are limited. $20 pp. Let me know if you would like a ticket, or if you would like to donate to this worthwhile cause.
Thank you,
Ruth

I love my indoor plants and succulents but our section is rather big and it does need maintaining. I am after quotes at this stage. Many many thanks.

Hi just seeing if anyone is interested in starting up a D and D gaming group?Hoping there are some people around who play ...was thinking of Paraparaumu area ,maybe a community center.
Wellington City is proposing a by-law banning unaddressed or advertising mail being put in letter boxes marked "no circulars" or '"no junk mail".
The by-law is part of a waste management plan to reduce the amount of material going in to landfills.
