Last Legs is a lethally funny black comedy about sex, death and politics with an irresistible appeal to the old and bold of heart. BOOK NOW for 5th to 7th October at the Clarence Street Theatre, Hamilton.

NEWS that Bill English is to open a new wing of the Cambridge Retirement Village sparks a revolution among its residents. New fractures appear along old fault lines, transforming the swanky facility into a hotbed of insurrection, intrigue and infidelity.

In the last week of July we put out a call for a superhero to help us design an A4 poster with an 'It's not ok to litter message' to help us clean up our district.

We had an overwhelming response with more than 200 entries and the quality was so outstanding it took us a little longer to judge than first thought.

It was not an easy task for our judging panel of Mayor David Trewavas, anti-litter campaigner Carol Lamb, and main sponsor Mark Gibson of Top Gear Cycles, to choose a winner but in the end there was one entry that stood out from the rest.

Taupo Intermediate student Bavneet Kaur, pictured with her entry, is the proud winner of a $400 voucher toward a new bike.
