Karori is that club for Wellingtonians. Lessons are about to start. A warning, bridge can be addictive.

The Wellington SPCA is appealing for donations for a puppy recently rescued in Upper Hutt.
At just three months old, Piglet was covered in one of the worst cases of mange the SPCA vets had seen.
Piglet’s skin was red, raw and weeping. Mange is a debilitating skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Left untreated like this, it is horrific and extremely painful.
Found wandering the streets alone, the disease had ravaged Piglet's skin, and she was in significant pain and discomfort.
Her medication is expensive and SPCA vets say she will need a lot of care.
