Ghoulish Golf At Brewtown

Michael from Trentham

The Witching Hour has come to Upper Hutt's unique entertainment centre Brewtown.

It's two mini putt courses with ghostly, supernatural back drops and foregrounds. It's grim with a grin. And the actual putting "greens" are quality.

The Witching Hour has come to Upper Hutt's unique entertainment centre Brewtown.

It's two mini putt courses with ghostly, supernatural back drops and foregrounds. It's grim with a grin. And the actual putting "greens" are quality.

This new permanent attraction also serves local craft beer etc and is open up to midnight on most days.

So the putt courses add to the already established:
Ice skating rink
Go kart track
Ten Pin bowling alleys
Trampoline Park
Paintball field
Escape Rooms
Chipmonks Playland
Axe throwing
Farmers Market incl craft stalls

And of course also at Brewtown are the restaurants/cafes, craft beer and distillery -
Kereru
Boneface
Panhead
Te Aro
Wild Kiwi
Get Fixed
Fermented

Truly a conglomerate of entertainment that draws outsiders to Upper Hutt.

Do you know any 'Boomerang Babies'?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In previous generations, children left home at 18 years old and became independent. Now with student debt and the increasing cost of renting and buying a house, we are seeing the rise of the 'Boomerang babies' who stay or move back home for well into their 20's.

Now with student debt and the increasing cost of renting and buying a house, we are seeing the rise of the 'Boomerang babies' who stay or move back home for well into their 20's. Is this good for our communities and have you noticed it in yours?

"Kaka, were essentially extinct here in Wellington for over 100 years. Then in 2002 a small group was translocated to our fenced sanctuary Zealandia. Now Kaka fly freely around the CBD. There are approximately 1000 birds now, each with its own personality.
They now also breed outside of Zealandia, and are seen throughout the city. These clever parrots are such entertainers, and are a photographers dream.?

Wellington/Hurricanes Last In Line

Michael from Trentham

The head of selectors for the All Blacks be it right now or the next off the cab (from 2024) are seemingly going to continue to ignore the credentials of Wellington Lions and Hurricanes players.

No matter that we won the 2022 provincial champs and are holders of the Ranfurly Shield and just might go on to win the Super Pacific Comp from currently lying second on the table.

Foster casts his eyes firstly over Waikato and The Chiefs and Razor Robertson is so firmly set in the Crusaders grip he may never quite emerge out of it when it comes down to selections for his AB teams.

A couple of weeks ago, a notable media guy and Canterbury faithful was asked by Sky's Breakdown panel to name his ABs side after 3-4 weeks of Comp. That guy went on to name almost the entire Crusaders team who have several ABs on the injury list who have not fronted so far this year and he included a guy who has played just one game for the Crusaders and managed to name Ardie Savea with a note that he hadn't played up to his best a few days earlier but just had to include him at No 8.
Well if Scot Robertson is a close associate of this fellow, it is going to be extra tough going here in the capital.

Previously unemployed and struggling with anxiety, Jack found a new path after joining the Toroa Career Navigator programme run by Graeme Dingle Foundation Marlborough.

Through the programme, he discovered his passion for the viticulture industry and was able to secure a cadetship opportunity with the help of his mentors and programme coordinator.

Now, almost six months into his job, he feels more confident and is grateful for the support he has received. Jack encourages other young people if given the opportunity to take the course and give things a go.
