Hi
I am trying to source some props for a community theatre play which goes on in a week and a half and I am hoping you might be able to help. I need 4-5 old china teacups. They don't need to be in a good state, In fact chipped and cracked is what I am looking for. I thought i would easily be able to find some in second hand shops or the tip shop but they all seem to come in sets with plates and saucers and are all in perfect condition and prices are from $8-$25!
If you have any old chipped china cups that you don;t want anymore please contact me ASAP and I will put them to good use.

Come and check out the play too. It is the amazing Irish play "Translations" by Brian Friel and is on at The Gryphon Theatre on Ghuznee street from 4th May to 14th May. Check out The Stagecraft website for more details. www.stagecraft.co.nz...
Come and see the teacups in action!
Thank you
Mary Coffey (director)

Pretty in pastel

The Team from Resene ColorShop Basin Reserve

Painted glass bottles make a stylish display on their own or with the addition of dried foliage. The paint is on the inside so they still have that lovely glass sheen. Use Resene testpots to co-ordinate with your home's colour palette.

We’ve developed a shortlist of three options and want to know what you think of them.

The existing consents for Wellington’s Southern Landfill expire in 2026, and we need to decide how we dispose of our residual waste (what’s left after we reduce, reuse and recycle) after this date.

We’ve developed a shortlist of three options and want to know what you think of them.

- New landfill on top of existing landfill (piggyback option) - the Council's preferred option.
- Waste to energy incineration.
- No residual waste facility in Wellington City.

Go to wcc.nz/letstalk for more info and to have your say. Submissions close 5pm Sunday 15 May 2022.
