Showcasing their passion for life, Ryman residents from New Zealand and Australia feature in the film. Let’s meet the stars.
“If I hear music, I just want to dance – body seems to just move!” says dancer Audrey, 84. Poet Brian, 86, says “Poetry helps me to question and understand the meaning of life”, followed by a witty “– haven’t worked out what it means yet”.
As their residents blaze their own trails, Ryman matches that pioneering spirit. “Ryman villages offer living choices to suit everyone so that you can live the way you want.”

Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder.
We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills.
Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz

Sub-Antarctic voyagers Derek Lightbourne and Shona Riddell will take you on a fascinating journey to the wild sub-Antartic islands recalling the struggles of would-be settlers and shipwrecked castaways.
New Zealand’s fragile yet fearsome sub-Antartic
Fragile yet fearsome, New Zealand’s sub-Antarctic islands are home to otherworldly plants and wildlife. They have also seen two centuries’ worth of human triumphs and tragedies.
Would-be settlers and shipwrecked castaways
Three-time sub-Antarctic voyager Derek Lightbourne will take you on a fascinating journey to these wild islands via a slideshow that recalls the struggles of would-be settlers and shipwrecked castaways.
A personal perspective of a voyage south
Next, Wellington author Shona Riddell who was also on a 2016 voyage south, will share from a personal perspective. Shona was subsequently able to access the archives of the Alexander Turnbull Library in researching her latest book ‘Trial of Strength, adventures and misadventures of the wild and remote Subantarctic islands’.
She was able to obtain unpublished manuscripts and papers, including her great-great-grandmother Harriett Cripps’ 1852 certificate of baptism on the Auckland Island, as well as written accounts of life during the same era along with historical images of NZ’s sub-Antarctic islands.

So, take some time out of your busy schedule to enjoy the second of the Rotary Martinborough Fairs for 2020 starting on Saturday, 7th March from 8am to 4:00pm. Stalls and activities for this event will take place in and around Martinborough Square. 😀
What does that mean for you?
Your Route 200 to Masterton will be diverted away from the area during the hours of 4am to 6:30pm so that you can enjoy the festivities as the square will be closed to traffic. Your journey to Masterton will now start from Stop #1800 Martinborough - Kitchener Street (near 11) instead of your usual Stop #1779 located at Martinborough Town Hall. Stop #8991 Jellicoe Street at Naples Street will also be closed.
