TRiG planting and working bee: this Saturday on the View Rd South / Te Raekaihau Headland Park. Starting at 2pm, the TRiG group and locals will hopefully be joined by the Places for Penguins Group from Tarragona Bay. Bring spades, gloves, and a cuppa.
From Miranda of Hornsey Rd: Oil Free Wellington will talk about the threat of deep sea oil drilling off Wellington’s south coast, an area called the Pegasus basin. All welcome next Wednesday 26 June at 7.30 at Houghton Valley School, with time for discussion and coffee afterwards. The talk replaces our usual film this month.
A bit of it about: In response to Derek’s report on damage to his cars others have observed and reported on similar activity. Katy and Aaron of View Road had plants pulled up and thrown all over a neighbour’s car and another house on had their mailbox kicked over. As well, the community garden had a large tamarillo plant broken a few weeks ago; can everyone keep an eye out?
It’s a small world: Reporting on the last issue Oliver says “Cool to see people from University of Minnesota here. My late uncle was a well known language professor there. The world is small.”
Tommy come home: Black cat Tommy is missing from View Road. He has no tail and a blue flea collar. Please ring Rodney with any sightings.
Reminder: School Quiz Night – 27 June at The Pines starts 7:30 pm – contact Caz to register.
