Elspeth Sandys talks about her recent book in which she tells the story of her βUncle Rewiβ Alleyβs life and work in the context of his time. This is a multi-layered narrative that is part biography, part travel journal, and part literary commentary.

Date: Wednesday 8 July 2020
Time: 5:30pm
Cost: No charge. Koha from non-members appreciated
Venue: Taiwhanga Kahau β Auditorium (lower ground floor), Corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets. Entrance on Aitken Street.
A Communist in the Family: Searching for Rewi Alley is a beautifully written multi-layered narrative, part-biography, part-travel journal, part-literary commentary. Sandys travelled to China with other family members to mark the ninetieth anniversary of Rewi's arrival in Shanghai in 1927. One strand of the book follows this journey and she tells the story of her βUncle Rewiβsβ early life in an insightful meditation on the complex and always elusive relationship between memory and writing. By placing the man, Rewi Alley, and his work in the context of his time and place, Elspeth is able to illuminate the life of this extraordinary New Zealander in a way that is both historically vivid and relevant to the world of today. The Alexander Turnbull Library holds extensive collections of material relating to Rewi Alley from his archives and from those of biographers, friends and colleagues.
Speaker biography: Wellington novelist Elspeth Sandys has published nine novels, two collections of short stories and two memoirs. She has written extensively for the BBC and for RNZ as well as for TV and film. A Communist in the Family: Searching for Rewi Alley was published by Otago University Press in 2019

So, we have been excited to learn about Ngake and WhΔtaitai, taniwha from Wellington Harbour.
Over past few months with support and help from the wider community we have been creating a display in our center about Ngake and WhΔtaitai.
Nga mihi ki a whanau Ditchburn! Trent Ditchburn created the taniwha; Ngake and WhΔtaitai. Trentβs younger brothers Raiden and Nova also did some amazing mahi. Their parents Phil and Ahlun helped to assemble the display on the foyer wall. The Greta Point tamariki have painted backgrounds and shells and birds!
This has all been coordinated and pulled together by our wonderful kaiako Dana! and is on display in our foyer (come in and check it out!).
What a great way to finish the week. Have a safe and happy weekend WhΓ nau.

The station opened on 15 May 1981, and was designed to use the artesian underground water resource of the Lower Hutt Valley to its maximum extent π§
Eight wells supply water from the Waiwhetu aquifer to the Water Treatment Plant located right next to the Waterloo Train Station π
