· Try to arrive well in advance
· If you have to drive, try not to park too close to Pukeahu – there’s not much parking in the neighbourhood. Try to take a bus or take an enjoyable walk through the city to Pukeahu.
· Let the kids, people shorter of stature, and seniors, get up the front – taller people can get a good view over their heads
· If it’s raining (or blazing sunshine), leave the umbrella at home – it’ll block views. Instead, take a hat if it’s raining.

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.
As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.

This year’s Lilburn Lecture sees acclaimed composer Eve de Castro-Robinson asking how much progress women composers in New Zealand have made since the granting of equal voting rights 125 years ago.
Reflecting on changes in New Zealand’s musical and socio-political culture, de Castro-Robinson considers her own journey as a female composer from the mid-1980s onward.
About the speaker
Eve de Castro-Robinson is one of New Zealand’s foremost composers, whose works have been widely performed. She has made many contributions to New Zealand music, including as a trustee of SOUNZ and is currently Associate Professor in Composition at the University of Auckland.
The annual Lilburn Lectures are a collaboration between the Lilburn Trust and the Alexander Turnbull Library.

In 2012, I was lucky enough to travel to Antarctica with 50-odd others. I had the pleasure of the company of award-winning comedian Te Radar on that trip, and saw his fascination and engagement with the place grow along the way. After we had returned, I was delighted to learn he had put together a show about the unique and downright odd history of Antartica. He performed this in Christchurch at the IceFest (where it was very well received), and subsequently in Auckland (ditto). Given he had not previously performed it in Wellington, Cardinal McKeefry School (which my children attend) thought it would a magnificent opportunity to get him to put it on as a joint venture with the school. Finally, it's about to happen... Te Radar is a supreme performer, and family friendly (although he notes that references to self-surgery may be a little strong for very young stomachs). This a great opportunity to have a fun, educational night out with the family.
See the attached poster for details. Grab a ticket, and see you there! And if, for any reason, you can't make it, please promote it as widely as you can.
