Be Safe with Fireworks this Year

Fire Safety from Fire Safety - Wellington Region

When Lighting Fireworks...............STAY SAFE!!


Remember these simple safety tips to keep you, your family and your Neighbours Safe.
*   Read and follow instructions on fireworks
*   Read them with a torch..........NOT a lighter
*   Light in an open area away from flammable materials
*   Fireworks, alcohol and drugs are a dangerous combination
*   Never let your children light fireworks
*   Keep a hose or bucket of water handy
*   If one of the fireworks fails to ignite, do not try to re-ignite
*   Burns should be put under cold running water for at least 10 minutes
THINK OF OTHERS:
*   Fireworks are noisy - consider your neighbours and young children
*   Keep your pets inside
*   Point fireworks at the stars.......not your mates!!


We love meeting our Neighbours.....But lets not meet by accident this Guy Fawkes. Have Fun and Stay Safe!!

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17

Michael from Trentham

Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?

This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.

Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.

Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.

The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.

Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
