Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.

Maidstone Park has been at the heart of the Upper Hutt community since 1908 and it is about to get a much needed upgrade.
Upper Hutt residents love their park and now they have the opportunity to have a say on an $18 million re-development.
The council received $12 million from the government as part of its "Shovel Ready " scheme to boost the economy and it also has an extra
$6 million allocated to the project.
During October and November, the council will be asking the community what it would like to see included in the Maidstone Community Sports Hub.
The aim is create a master plan by February 2021 and the council hopes to begin construction in March 2021.
The redevelopment will create a multi-purpose sports park, providing a focal point for recreation in the city. The vision is to create a mix of new and upgraded clubrooms, facilities and associated infrastructure, addressing the issue of ageing sporting infrastructure in Upper Hutt.

Hi team! Thank you so much for your support of First Rung, our first podcast!
The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!
