June Meeting We were warmly welcomed by Anne Miller and Peter Cox New Members We welcomed two new members to our club. From left to right, Jan Fleming was introduced by Derek McDonald and Shannon Pakura by Don Quirk. 1 Farewell It is with sadness that we note the passing of Aureen Coshan and we send our deepest sympathy and kind thoughts to her family. The Birthday Draw for June Our June arrivals… and the winners are… George Bright, Peter Cox and Heather Smart. Guest Speakers Speaker organiser, Graham Kelly, has an interesting line-up ahead for us … Thank you Graham! 5 July Wendy Betteridge – will talk about “De-Merits of Driving” 2 August Dr Deborah Stevens – her topic is Bioethics Education 6 September Ian Johnstone - will entertain us with “That Joker on the Telly” Guest Speaker Our guest speaker in June was His Excellency Mr Mario Alzugaray Rodriguez, Ambassador of Cuba. He gave a very educational and thought provoking presentation on the history and present day conditions in Cuba. Here are some of the topics that he addressed. 2 3 Time for a smile! A man was sitting reading his paper when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan. 'What was that for?' the man asked. The wife replied, 'That was for the piece of paper with the name Betty on it that I found in your trouser pocket.’ The man then said 'When I was at the races last week, Betty was the name of the horse I bet on.' The wife apologised and went on with the housework. Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious. Upon re-gaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit him again. Wife replied, 'Your horse phoned!' And continuing the racing theme… 4 Club Activities Please note… If you are on our waiting list you are welcome to participate in any of our activities. We would love to get to know you while you wait to join … Walking “Great to see numbers still keen to go walking on some of these cold and windy winter mornings. I must admit that Whitby Probus ladies (and one or two men) are certainly a hardy bunch of walkers But why not turn out when you know that you will be meeting up with others that you can exercise with and at the same time have a friendly chat and a coffee with afterwards.” The group meets every Tuesday 9am at Whitby Mall. All Welcome. Don Enquiries to Don Quirk Ph 234 7700 Winter Wines Sunday 9 July 4.00pm to 6.00pm. Host to provide crackers, guests supply the wine and cheese.

Gaye McGill on [email protected] phone 238 9904 Book Lovers “Our group of Book Lovers met at Gaye McGill’s house on Thursday 8th June and among the books discussed were Edna O’Brien’s memoir called ‘Country Girl’ recounting her journey from country girl to Chelsea girl and the family saga written by Jeffrey Archer entitled ‘The Clifton Chronicles’. The next meeting will be held on July 13th at 10.15 at Jacqui Campbell’s house at 16 Bodmin Terrace, Camborne.

Dine Out “Hi Folks, A nice lunch out at The Gear Homestead, so another venue to add to the list. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I know two did, enjoying a nice glass of wine out on the veranda. Lovely. Our next venue is a bit further away, but I know you will all enjoy this. Glenys Greaves kindly put me on to this one. It is Susie's Café at the Ten Pin Bowling, Kapiti. The address is 1 Te Tupe Road, Nikau Valley. Paraparaumu. Very easy to find as it is very well sign posted, but another car journey I'm afraid. Lunches can start at $5. The menus will be on the table at the next meeting. Lots of games to be played if you get bored! See you at the next meeting. Doreen” Contact Doreen Fleming Ph 233 2243 500 Cards “Six of us met at our place for a fun but serious morning. Playing 3 per team is always challenging having to remember who is on your team and a few times we trumped one another's trick (not the right thing to do for those unfamiliar with 500). We wish Kath all the best in her trip to UK and look forward to having Ian, Margaret and Shirleen back. Alan is still non persona so take care whatever you are up to.” July cards will be at Alan and Barbara Nichols’, 7 Portage Place - Wednesday, 19July at 10.00am. Any new players always welcome. Colin Edwards and Bev Marsden Allan Nichols Ph 234 8415 [email protected] 5 Photography “We had a good turnout for this month’s photography outing, 7 or 8 (I can’t remember exactly) members visited Plimmerton on a fine but breezy day. We had a very interesting couple of hours wandering around the Heritage trail that has recently been signposted in Plimmerton. There are a lot of old buildings in the village and many now have plaques describing their history and they are quite fascinating. We all had a very interesting morning.” 6 The next meeting will be on Monday, 10 July. Venue to be announced, but we always meet initially at 9.30 at the carpark in Browns Bay, near the entrance to Whitby. Contact Graham Craig Ph 234 7558 Genealogy “The Genealogy Group held its monthly meeting on Tuesday 6th June at the Porirua Public Library. In addition to our normal discussion on members` recent discoveries on their family history, we had a very interesting talk from Deirdre Dale on the development of the Plimmerton Heritage Trail. This is a joint project by the Plimmerton Residents Association and the Porirua City Council in identifying and marking with a plaque the various historic buildings, sites and events of the Plimmerton area.” The July meeting of the Group will be held at 1.30pm on Tuesday 4 July at the Porirua Public Library. Contact Lenora Jones Ph 234 1595 or e-mail [email protected] Cinema We had an excellent turnout in June to see “Churchill” The next film will be screened at 10.30 (meet from 10.00 am onwards for coffee/chat on Monday 24 July.) Note that cinema outings are on the fourth Monday of the month. Barb Nichols Ph 234 8415 [email protected] Mah Jong Games will be at the Croquet Club at 1.30 pm on the first and third Mondays of each month Barb Nichols Ph 234 8415 [email protected] Outings “On a beautiful Wellington day 14 members caught the train and bus to The NZ Film Archives cnr Taranaki and Ghuznee Street. There was coffee and biscuits provided to enable the members to socialise before our host Amanda led us into the large theatre to view Reel life in Rural NZ. There were around 20 short film clips ranging from new farming instruments in the early 1930s to life on hill country farms, shearing and dipping of sheep plus many more historical items of rural interest. Great memories for those with a farming background and of interest to all. Amanda answered questions at the conclusion of the film. The venue and concept is well worth considering for another outing as there are literally dozens of options on viewing a history of New Zealand. For the 6 who were unable to make it, maybe next time.” June Campbell-Tong Ph 234 7918 and Margaret Faulkner Ph 235 7283 Club Speaker Our club speaker for June was Derek Oldershaw – here is his presentation. “I was born in Nelson in June 1940. My father was a second generation New Zealander, the youngest of seven children he was born in Nelson. My mother was born in Aberdeen the youngest of four daughters who migrated to New Zealand with her family and settled in Nelson when she was nine years old. I have one brother who is two years younger than I me.

  • Parish with a Mission by Geoff Pryor
    Parish with a Mission By Geoff Pryor Foreword - The Parish Today The train escaping Wellington darts first into one tunnel and then into another long, dark tunnel. Leaving behind the bustle of the city, it bursts into a verdant valley and slithers alongside a steep banked but quiet stream all the way to Porirua. It hurtles through the Tawa and Porirua parishes before pulling into Paremata to empty its passengers on the southern outskirts of the Plimmerton parish. The train crosses the bridge at Paremata with Pauatahanui in the background. There is no sign that the train has arrived anywhere particularly significant. There is no outstanding example of engineering feat or architecture, no harbour for ocean going ships or airport. No university campus holds its youth in place. No football stadium echoes to the roar of the crowd. The whaling days have gone and the totara is all felled. Perhaps once Plimmerton was envisaged as the port for the Wellington region, and at one time there was a proposal to build a coal fired generator on the point of the headland. Nothing came of these ideas. All that passed us by and what we are left with is largely what nature intended. Beaches, rocky outcrops, cliffs, rolling hills and wooded valleys, magnificent sunsets and misted coastline. Inland, just beyond Pauatahanui, the little church of St. Joseph, like a broody white hen nestles on its hill top. Just north of Plimmerton, St. Theresa's church hides behind its hedge from the urgency of the main road north. The present day parish stretches in an L shape starting at Pukerua Bay through to Pauatahanui.

The school includes 14% Maori students, 4% Pasific Peoples, 7% Asian, 73% NZ European, and 3% of other ethnic groups. Nestled in the coastal town of Plimmerton, north of Porirua city, we enjoy a unique combination of village community lifestyle, and the advantages of close proximity to city life. We are set 300m from the sea on a large site. Facilities include 23 classrooms, a field, a large hall/auditorium, a heated covered swimming pool, a technology centre, and a new library completed in 2020. Local iwi The original settlement of Hongoeka, today an active Ngati Toa marae with a wharenui, provides cultural richness and opportunity to the Plimmerton community. We share a close association with local iwi and Hongoeka, with a representative co-opted to the Board of Trustees. The school fosters participation and success of Maori students through Maori educational initiatives consistent with the Treaty of Waitangi such as the instruction in tikanga Maori and Te Reo Maori.

  • Regional Demand Forecasts for Aggregates in Wellington
    Regional Demand Forecasts for Aggregates in Wellington This report has been prepared for Wellington City Council and is not intended for general publication or circulation. It is not to be reproduced without written agreement. We accept no responsibility to any party, unless specifically agreed by us in writing. We reserve the right, but will be under no obligation, to revise or amend our report in light of any additional information, which was in existence when the report was prepared, but which was not brought to our attention. Regional Demand Forecasts for Aggregates in Wellington Background 1. Background KPQ is strategically located in Ngauranga Gorge, on State Highway 1 within Wellington City. The quarry is a hard rock quarry extracting greywacke. The KPQ site also hosts: An asphalt plant owned and operated by Downer, and A concrete plant owned and operated by Allied Concrete in which Holcim has a 50% holding. There are long term supply agreements in place with these businesses which provide both long term stability and sales, with the advantage of having exposure to both roading and construction based sales. This provides balance if there are short term fluctuations in either market. There is reasonable ability to adjust production between either market. There are limited sources of aggregate material in the region. The greywacke rock resource reserves along the Wellington Fault have for many decades been the prime source of the hard rock quarried for use in the wider Wellington and Hutt Valley areas. Ngauranga Gorge has been quarried for over 100 years. 1920 Quarry activity in Ngauranga Gorge:Track & Stream (Alexander Turnbull Library) Regional Demand Forecasts for Aggregates in Wellington Regional Rock Resources and Alternatives 2.

  • PLIMMERTON FARM SUBMISSION | K BEAMSLEY Page 1
    PLIMMERTON FARM – PLAN CHANGE PROPOSAL Supporting Documentation View from Submitters Property Karla and Trevor Beamsley 24 Motuhara Road Plimmerton PLIMMERTON FARM SUBMISSION | K BEAMSLEY Page 1 1. INTRODUCTION The village of Plimmerton is a northern suburb of Porirua, and is surrounded to the North and East by farmland. It represents the edge of existing residential dwellings. Generally existing homes are stand-alone dwellings on lots greater than 500m² in size. Most residents within Plimmerton and Camborne either commute into Wellington city or work from home. The demand for housing in this area is from professional couples or families looking for 3 – 4 bedroom family homes on a section with space for kids to run around in, not medium or high density three-storey buildings and apartments, this is reflected in the TPG report to PCC (Dec 2019). Medium density style townhouses, or apartments would be totally out of character of the surrounding residential areas, and would present a stark contrast to the remaining rural areas which bound the site. The Plimmerton Farm site is not located close to areas of high employment, nor is it close to local amenities like the main shopping areas of Porirua. The site is also not located within an area currently supported by existing infrastructure. Much of the infrastructure in the area is aging, and requires repair or upgrade to support existing demands. Therefore, the idea that Plimmerton Farm would provide homes in a location close to employment, amenities and infrastructure1 is simply incorrect in terms of a 10-year time frame. Areas where this would be true include the currently developing areas of Aotea, Whitby, Kenepuru, and Porirua East.

  • Historical Snapshot of Porirua
    HISTORICAL SNAPSHOT OF PORIRUA This report details the history of Porirua in order to inform the development of a ‘decolonised city’. It explains the processes which have led to present day Porirua City being as it is today. It begins by explaining the city’s origins and its first settlers, describing not only the first people to discover and settle in Porirua, but also the migration of Ngāti Toa and how they became mana whenua of the area. This report discusses the many theories on the origin and meaning behind the name Porirua, before moving on to discuss the marae establishments of the past and present. A large section of this report concerns itself with the impact that colonisation had on Porirua and its people. These impacts are physically repre- sented in the city’s current urban form and the fifth section of this report looks at how this development took place. The report then looks at how legislation has impacted on Ngāti Toa’s ability to retain their land and their recent response to this legislation. The final section of this report looks at the historical impact of religion, particularly the impact of Mormonism on Māori communities. Please note that this document was prepared using a number of sources and may differ from Ngati Toa Rangatira accounts. MĀORI SETTLEMENT The site where both the Porirua and Pauatahanui inlets meet is called Paremata Point and this area has been occupied by a range of iwi and hapū since at least 1450AD (Stodart, 1993). Paremata Point was known for its abundant natural resources (Stodart, 1993).
