Enjoy the very best of locally-made crafts, artisan food, and refreshments in a lovely rural setting at the Eat Drink and Be Crafty Fair. There will also be a live band and plenty of entertainment for all ages – it’s sure to be a great family day out for everyone.
Cell phone coverage in the area of Battle Hill is patchy which in turn means coverage for Eftpos machines can be a problem. In the past, cash has proved to be the most reliable means for transactions. There will be a limited Eftpos facility on the day supplying cash.
The proceeds from the day will support Wellington Free Ambulance and local Porirua Community Charities.
Where: Greater Wellington’s Battle Hill Farm Forest Park, 608 Paekakariki Hill Road, Porirua, Wellington
Admission: Gold coin donation

When Clifford Hallett blows out the candles on his cake in a couple of weeks, he'll likely wish for an extra leave day to celebrate.
Hallett has launched a petition to Parliament requesting it pass legislation to give all employees that right.

The pair from charity Nourish kai hampers raised $135,000 so as many as 1000 families in-need won’t face bare cupboards this Christmas.
About 80 volunteers packed 1000 hampers worth $150 for those who need it most across Porirua, Hutt Valley and Tawa on Saturday – the highest number the charity has put together, and double last year’s demand.

Porirua has a new police station.
The old building had given more than 50 years service but was well past its best.
Kāpiti Mana Area Commander, Inspector Tracey Thompson said it was not a good building to work in.

The old building had given more than 50 years service but was well past its best.
Kāpiti Mana Area Commander, Inspector Tracey Thompson said it was not a good building to work in.
“Our pots [were] on the floor because there were holes in the roof. It didn’t smell that nice at times, [it was] cold in the winter, hot in the summer."
Among the first people to visit the facility were representatives of Ngāti Toa Rangatira who blessed the new facility last Thursday.
The iwi also gifted the names of seven rooms, including Whakatau Mai (reception), Te Wāhi Hapori (community room), Taua Nei Kōrero (interview rooms), Kai Tāhi (cafeteria), Te Wāhi Whakataa (wellness room) and the executive meeting room, Kāpiti ki Pōneke.
Signs in the new police facility were bilingual, reflecting the close relationship police had with local Māori.

"I am a special dude who has had an unusual start to my rehoming journey. I am completely deaf but that doesn't stop me having a great time! I am a fun, loveable, boy who has stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. I am looking for an experienced owner, who has a suitable property for me to thrive in. I'm always up for a walk or a game to play, and I love to find things to do and keep active. I am looking for a home with teenagers or adults, and a home without cats or small animals. I am happy to play with other active dogs, and love to be social with both people and dogs. If you are interested in me and my goofy personality - chat to the canine team."
