This is an occasion to hear about why the Treaty came about, what happened during the days around Feb. 6th 1840, how the Treaty came to be signed by iwi around New Zealand, and how it was understood by the British Government at the time and the years following.
We are very fortunate to have the Rev Dr David Williams FRSNZ giving this talk on the Treaty of Waitangi. Last year he was elected a Fellow of the Academy of the Royal Society Te Apārangi in recognition of his research, scholarship and the advancement of knowledge in the areas of constitutional law, colonial legal history and the Treaty of Waitangi.
The press release from Auckland University announcing this honour says,
“He is one of twenty new Fellows and three Honorary Fellows elected this year for their distinction in research and advancement of science, technology or the humanities. He will be inducted in February next year, 100 years after the first 20 Fellows were inducted in 1919.
Holding a personal chair as a Professor of Law at the University of Auckland, he has combined his expertise in history and law to produce ground-breaking studies which have challenged previous conventional wisdom, recast the body of knowledge on Treaty of Waitangi jurisprudence, had a direct influence on public and official understanding of Treaty issues, and influenced Waitangi Tribunal and Supreme Court outcomes.
Professor Williams enjoys strong links with scholars of law and Indigenous rights in colonial settings internationally, and is sought after for international collaborations.
Being made a Fellow is an honour that recognises true international distinction in research, scholarship and the advancement of knowledge. Fellows can use the post-nominal ‘FRSNZ’ after their name to indicate this honour.
“I have always had the tenacity to never give up on the issues that I am passionate about,” David says “and it is truly humbling to have this honour bestowed for work on topics that once were not celebrated at all.”
In 2017, he was elected Honorary Fellow of the American Society for Legal History – the first New Zealander to be so honoured.”
There will be an opportunity for questions and discussion at the end of the presentation.
A koha – donations will be collected at the door to help cover the costs.

Is there anyone out there who can advise how to get my Nordic Track treadmill serviced in my home at Papamoa please? It's in excellent condition but it squeaks.
I was lucky to be given a car ride into the city at lunch time. Came back to Bayfair on the Hopital Link bus waited for the Goldlink bus as I needed to get to Papamoa Beach Road. Half an hour after Goldlink was to go to Papamoa was told by another bus user that there were no Goldlink buses today. … View moreI was lucky to be given a car ride into the city at lunch time. Came back to Bayfair on the Hopital Link bus waited for the Goldlink bus as I needed to get to Papamoa Beach Road. Half an hour after Goldlink was to go to Papamoa was told by another bus user that there were no Goldlink buses today. No mention of this was in either the city bus hub or at the Bayfair Hub. Just another black mark against the so called wonderful new bus routes and time table.
Hailed by Time Magazine as ‘a landmark theatre event’, this powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Hi guys, I'm in need of some scrappy 4x2" pieces of wood, longer than 610mm, for a DIY project if anyone has some lying around they don't need anymore. It doesn't matter if they have nails etc, I'll take them out. Anything is appreciated!
Hi Neighbours
