Matariki Night Glow - Stargazing Opportunity - Friday, 5 July 2024
The Wellington Astronomical Society is joining us at Matariki Night Glow for anyone interested in stars, planets or topics relating to astronomy.
The team will be bringing their telescopes to Ben Burn Park where you can lie back on the grass and look at the stars in the beautiful night sky!
On Friday, 5 July you will be able to view double stars and star clusters (as unfortunately the planets are only viewable in the morning at the moment). The team will also be happy to answer any astronomy related questions.
If you are interested in joining the Wellington Astronomical Society, memberships are available for beginners and experienced astronomers from a diverse range of age groups and professions.
The aim is to let people enjoy astronomy through a friendly and helpful atmosphere. All their meetings and events are free and open to anyone to attend, and they hold a number of public outreach events and provide a free telescope observing service to schools and community groups.
DATE: Friday, 5 July 2024
TIME: 5pm - 8pm
LOCATION: Ben Burn Park, Karori, Wellington

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Sleeping Beauty - The Pantomime
A family comedy where a stitch in time saves nine thousand years.
Aurora is the people’s princess of Wellingtonia – with a curse.
On her first birthday an evil spell is cast: One day she will prick her finger on a spinning wheel, sending her into an unbreakable deep sleep. With the help of fairy god-daddies that watch over her and a surprise visit from two interdimensional travellers, Aurora must venture through the time-space continuum to stay conscious and reclaim her throne from evil forces. An original pantomime that takes a beloved fairytale and adds equal amounts of song, dance, and sci-fi to bubble up a perfect potion the whole whānau will love. A high-energy romp of comedy and capers – Sleeping Beauty is anything but a snoozefest. Celebrating 20 years of Circa Theatre pantomimes.
