Kapiti Chess Club members, Geoffrey Gunawan, David Paul and Gordon Lyall attended an elite chess coaching seminar on Saturday 13th July. The coaching seminar was given by Chess Grandmaster Dejan Bojkov, a FIDE Senior Trainer and coach to the New Zealand Olympiad team.

Dejan is a Bulgarian grandmaster, who has a background in sport science and many years of experience as a professional chess player. For a number of years he has worked with top juniors in Europe, U.S.A., and Asia, as well as former Women’s World Champion Antoaneta Stefanova, and various national teams, plus league teams in Europe. He is part of the FIDE elite FST (FIDE Senior Trainer) panel, and produces training material for a number of online chess platforms. He is also the author of several books.

The event was hosted by Wellington Chess Club and was attended by a number of talented junior players as well as the regions top senior players, including 14 time New Zealand Champion, International Master Anthony Ker.

The event was thoroughly enjoyed by all and provided great insight into elite level chess.

Some of the concepts and advice from GM Bojkov will be presented at local coaching sessions for juniors, held at Kapiti Chess Club every Tuesday at 7pm.

Last weekend brought some wild weather! 🌧🌩☔️
We saw a number of roads affected by surface flooding as well as a number of wastewater overflows throughout the region.

When too much water gets into wastewater pipes it can overflow into the natural environment, typically during periods of heavy rainfall. We recommend you do not swim for two days following a heavy rainfall event. This is to not only protect you from contaminants from stormwater runoff, but also potential wastewater overflows.

Sharonika finds resilience through Graeme Dingle Foundation

Graeme Dingle Foundation

Teen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and … View moreTeen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’

Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.

Has anyone seen my friends beautiful missing Cat ‘Rasta'?

Large ginger cat with big white paws missing from around Frederick Street/Eatwell Ave/Sweetman Ave, Paraparaumu Beach. He is new to the area so maybe trying to find his way back home to Victor Groove in Waikanae... so could be anywhere in between.

He is quite timid around strangers. Last seen 30th June.😞

He could be anywhere, so ANY possible sightings would be really appreciated. THANK YOU.
