Sonny Bill ironic promotion

Michael from Pinehaven

This was enacted as part of an agreement and a set of circumstances between all the contracted rugby players in NZ and their franchises and the NZRFU.

So SBW took the opportunity to thread-in the charity organisation"Plunket" on both sides of the collar of his Blues jersey which means he is promoting Plunket.

The irony is that the principal sponsor of Plunket is none other that the BNZ which is one of the two sponsors that SBW discarded from his playing jersey.

SBW says he has nothing against the BNZ other than the interest fees the bank imposes but the Plunket connection with the bank still gave me a bit of a laugh.

The Major Minors Children's Choir begins the new term on May 7 and we'd love to have more kids join this growing group. If you know any kids who love their singing they'll fit right in!

We sing a large variety of music styles and perform regularly throughout the year. Rehearsals are in Upper Hutt on Sunday afternoons. Kids don't need to read music or audition to join The Major Minors Children's Choir. Current members are aged 4-15.

We also have an extension group The Harmonic Minors which is auditioned. This group assists with harmonies with the Major Minors and they have their own repertoire too.

Our term fees are very reasonable as we run this group voluntarily.

The Upper Hutt Dawn Service today was almost same as usual for the past several years or so and well attended, except this year it included an emotional and beautifully performed NZ ANZAC song from local singer Anita Prime.
The NZ and Aussie national anthems were also boosted by Anita leading the singing of them.

Women taking leading roles at the 2017 UH parade was not lost on me. The well composed address from a woman representing the military was appreciated.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the lively discussion on this topic, we love hearing your thoughts. Comments have now been closed.

There must be an election on . . . although that's a bit unfair because Winston Peter has been a regular speaker at Upper Hutt Grey Power over the years. And it looks like he made a few good points too.
What will the election for our seat of Rimutaka bring, we can only wonder.
Are their any issues we as a community need our candidates to address?
And would you be keen on a all-in public meeting, would you attend or are they a thing of the past?
