They were both still fully functional yesterday before their removal. Free to a good home - or any home really, as long as it's not mine!

As you can see from the pink carpet, I have enough of that era in my life. 021655824

Falls prevention

There’s a new exercise class in town! Yes, another one… but this one is special: it’s a falls prevention exercise class for seniors, and it only costs a gold coin.

Yes, another one… but this one is special: it’s a falls prevention exercise class for seniors, and it only costs a gold coin. Age Concern Wellington’s Ann Dalziel has started three new weekly classes in Lower Hutt (Knox Church), Khandallah (St Barnabas Church), and Churton Park (community centre). Age Concern Wellington now has 25 Steady as You Go exercise classes running each week around the Wellington Region. From Upper Hutt to Island Bay and over to Whitby, there’s a class near you.

“My balance has improved so much,” says one class participant, “and I’ve made many new friends here.”

These classes are designed to improve strength and balance and help prevent a fall. Steady as You Go classes improve balance and leg strength, flexibility, general fitness, and wellbeing. But most importantly perhaps, these classes are a great way to meet new people.

Classes consist of a combination of sitting, standing and walking exercises, and take around an hour. Call 04 499 6648 or visit www.ageconcernwellington.org.nz... for more information.

Falls are not a natural part of ageing!

​When Upper Hutt pilot Mark Rammell flew the only New Zealand flight into the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic, he had no idea that same virus would end his four-decade career as a pilot.
In February, he joined the flight crew of an Air New Zealand Boeing 777 in Hong Kong – bound for Wuhan. They were tasked with bringing Kiwis home on the only evacuation flight from the city.
The pandemic led to Air New Zealand parking up most of its planes and Rammell made the tough decision to retire.
Rammel traded in his jet-setting life for a more settled existence, running a function centre and gardens he owns with his wife in Kaitoke.
