The New Zealand School of Food & Wine will celebrate its 25th Anniversary over the weekend of 14 and 15 March when past students will join Celia Hay, the school's founder, for a series of cooking demonstrations, wine tastings, gala dinner and Pet Nat Masterclass.

Flashback to 1995, Celia Hay had just opened the New Zealand School of Food & Wine (NZSFW) above her restaurant, Hay's in Victoria Street, Christchurch. Twenty-five years later, the NZSFW continues to flourish in Auckland’s Viaduct, with a history that aptly reflects the transformation of New Zealand’s own hospitality, wine and tourism sectors during this time.

With over 20,000 students through its doors, the NZSFW is a leading New Zealand hospitality institution. It's success is built on the quality of programmes that it presents and in 2020, it remains a respected institution, valued by employers and its diverse student body.

Celebration events -
14 March - 9:30 am - 06:00 pm - Cooking Demonstrations & Wine Tastings
14 March - 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm - Celebration dinner
15 March - 10:00 am - 15:00 pm - Autumn Forage

Which 'summer' are you having?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

It's been a mixed summer so far for New Zealand. Much of the country has seen record breaking temperatures, drought-conditions and scrub fires. But in recent days the West Coast and Southland have experienced heavy rains, flooding, evacuations and closed roads. Our thoughts are with affected.

Our skies have been coloured by smoke blown over from the Australian bushfires, meanwhile Wellingtonians are just stoked if they get to see the sun.

You may recognise it from school as Unihoc or Indoor Hockey.

Floorball is a team event. It is fast paced with lots of short sprint running and breaks in between. It is fun to play and very easy to learn. If you have played Field Hockey, Tennis, Football or any other ball sport, you will quickly pick up Floorball as well. What is even better is the fact that it is played indoors. Rain or shine…you can play Floorball.

We play twice a week and the 2020 season has now started up.

Wednesday nights we play from 7:30pm till about 8:45pm and it is for the older teens, youth and adults.

Sunday afternoons we have children and younger teens from age about 6 and upwards playing from 4:00pm until about 5:15pm….

Cost of playing is $2.00 for those aged 17 or younger. Those aged 18 and older pay $5.00 per session.

We have equipment in the form of balls and sticks to play with so all you need is t-shirt, shorts and indoor sports shoes.

If you want to know more about Floorball, please contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Cheers

Hi Neighbourly,
This is my last hope.... If anyone has found a bunch of keys (there are at least 2 ford car keys) on a black Lanyard, with red (faded) writing... possibly lost around Solveig place or somewhere along the roads heading out of the Randwick area, starting to think they may have been left on the car without noticing. The keys were lost on Wednesday 8th January 2020, I know that was a month ago as I said my last hope someone picked them up or remembers something.
Please send me a message 🙏🙏🙏
