Do you like to watch sports alongside true sports fans?

Wellington Sports Fans is not just for watching sports live at the Basin Reserve or SKY Stadium. It’s for getting together with other true sports fans to watch our favourite events at bars, fan zones, or even going the distance around New Zealand or to other countries. It’s about the great Kiwi tradition of getting up at all hours to see global events live from far-flung time zones around the world.

2021 promises to be a massive year for international sport, because of several 2020 events carried over from last year. Big events of 2021 include:

• Black Caps v Pakistan (January, Christchurch)
• Australia v India (January, Australia-wide)
• Prada Cup (America’s Cup Challenger Selection Series) (January/February, Auckland)
• Black Caps v Australia (February/March, NZ-wide)
• America’s Cup (March, Auckland)
• Black Caps v Bangladesh (March, NZ-wide)
• UEFA Euro 2020* (June/July, Europe-wide)
• Tokyo 2020* Summer Olympic Games (July/August, Japan)
• Women’s Rugby World Cup 2021 (September/October, Auckland/Whangarei)
• FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifying (Oceania dates TBA)

I’ve included above tournaments and series particular to 2021, that’s without the events that (usually) happen around the same time each year:
Tennis Grand Slams, Golf majors, EPL, NBA, NBL, IPL, MLB, NHL, NFL, NRL, AFL, Rugby Championship, Rugby Six Nations, plus Silver Ferns and All Blacks matches to be announced.

All sports fans in Wellington welcome!

Old kids bunk bed free

Nat from Johnsonville

I have an old kids bunk bed that I am wondering if anyone wants.
The bed base is about 1010mm x 2050mm.
There is only 1 mattress, old, but not stained.
The slats for one bed have been replaced by the homemade slats in the photo. One of the hooks for the ladder is lost and the new owner will have to… View more
I have an old kids bunk bed that I am wondering if anyone wants.
The bed base is about 1010mm x 2050mm.
There is only 1 mattress, old, but not stained.
The slats for one bed have been replaced by the homemade slats in the photo. One of the hooks for the ladder is lost and the new owner will have to come up with a substitute.
The hooks are shown in detail on one of the photos.
Usefully, the beds split into individual beds when needed.

Is Whittaker's your dream job?

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

It’s every kid’s dream to work at a chocolate factory. Megan Sinclair, the new product development manager at Whittaker’s in Wellington, is living that dream – albeit without the chocolate rivers – designing flavours and roasting batches of beans in her little lab on the factory floor.

Megan Sinclair, the new product development manager at Whittaker’s in Wellington, is living that dream – albeit without the chocolate rivers – designing flavours and roasting batches of beans in her little lab on the factory floor.
It’s called the micro-lab, and within its walls there are cupboards of flavours and scents, everything from cake batter to beetroot, a mini bean roaster, and a mixing machine called a melange.
In this, she can make 12 kilogram batches to test flavours, or 45kg batches in the one in the room next door; small quantities compared to the tonnes pumped out by the main factory on a daily basis.

Wellington’s property values recorded the fastest growth out of the main centres in 2020, with prices rising as the capital’s housing stock plumbs the lowest level in decades.
Over the coming year, the average property price for Wellington would cross the $1 million mark, said Nicki Cruickshank, a real estate agent with Tommy’s Wellington. “You can't really get a three-bedroom house in Wellington under $1m now, anyway.”
Porirua City experienced a 20.8 per cent annual growth in residential property values, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt cities both experienced 17.2 per cent growth, and Kāpiti Coast 18.3 per cent.

Smokey is a rehomed cat who is loving his new life with his happy new owner.
“He is really relaxed now, loves purring and is extremely happy, although is still on guard with unfamiliar noises. Smokey started off being quite afraid of most things, but now is a well-behaved cat who is newly learning to use his scratching post, rather than a carpet! Smokey loves routine and "helps" people by sitting in their laps when they are trying to work or type. He has become an integral part of a piano teaching studio and loves both music and all the students.”

Summer is a great time to enjoy our coast and waterways, but it pays to check first to see if the water is safe to swim in.

Hi everyone,
My little 12 year-old sister and I have some more freshly-picked, pesticide-free habaneros off our bush that we would like to sell to earn some pocket money.

The $1 coin is for size reference, these habaneros are much bigger than chillies I have seen at the local supermarket retailing for $1:30 each (picture included indicating size relative to a $1 coin) and are really hot so you only need to cut up a small portion into food. Habaneros store well in the freezer so any leftover can be frozen until needed for up to a few months.

$1 each or 6 for $5.

I also have some that I have frozen that we would still like to sell at a rate of 2 for $1.50.

Covid-19 safety precautions:
It is recommended that you rinse produce thoroughly with hot water.
See covid19.govt.nz....
