  • Sir Peter Leitch | Newsletter
    THE ACTION KICKS OFF THIS SATURDAY NIGHT Sir Peter Leitch Club Newsletter RLWC 2017 24th October 2017 It’s 4 days until the Kiwis play # their first game of the 2017 RLWC 193 Back The Kiwis By Enjoying Lunch By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan E ARE only days from the kick-off of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, with Australia and England W– in what will be a hell of a match - doing the honours on Friday night. Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

It also provides examples of sporting heritage programmes currently offered to support the curriculum in museum and sport settings across the country The physicality and accessibility of sport cuts through barriers of language, religion, class and culture. There is growing evidence that sporting heritage, taught as part of the school curriculum, is a very effective medium for motivating under-achieving pupils. Whilst the main academic focus of sporting heritage is history – most pertinently local history – it can also provide an effective springboard to cross-curricular learning and to sports participation. Many of our sports clubs were founded in the 19th century and, from Premier League football clubs to village cricket and rugby clubs, are often the best examples of living history in their communities, regularly attracting more people onto their premises and more interest in their fortunes than any other local organisations of comparable age.

Action Plan Matrix with Timeline Table 3. Origin and Destination Indicators Foreword Pakistan’s rapidly urbanizing economy has been a central topic in policy circles for the last few years. Traffic and transport related issues faced by city dwellers are a regular feature in the news however, seldom do we see actionable policy recommendations being implemented. The popular approach to urban problem solving has been to allocate government expenditure for mega infrastructure projects that ultimately cater to long distance motorized transport. Pakistani cities are socially and spatially growing through unsustainable urban sprawl and misallocation of vital resources. The consequent damage of this unsustainable growth on air pollution and overall quality of life needs to be addressed with innovative approaches. This document has been prepared by a multidisciplinary team of citizens and urban professionals with the aim of influencing sustainable change in Pakistan’s urban mindset. The Islamabad Cycling Strategy intends to highlight and illustrate the possibility of non-motorized short distance inner city transport.
