Many attended the beautiful Choral Evensong at the Wellington Cathedral of St Paul on Sunday afternoon. The AGM began on Monday evening in the Amokura Gallery at Te Papa. NZ Governor General Dame Patsy Reddy opened the meeting and representatives from Rural Women NZ, Wellington City Council and the New Horizons for Women Trust spoke.

Smith leads All Blacks against Fiji RUGBY by Liam Napier, NZME
DUNEDIN — Aaron Smith wears his emotions openly and they were pulsing with pride as he prepares to lead the All Blacks for the first time at his favoured home venue on Saturday. Captaining the All Blacks against Fiji in Dunedin underlines Smith’s longevity as he approaches the 100-test milestone, but, perhaps more importantly, it’s a nod of recognition to the devotion he has for the finer details of his craft as well as his continued development as a person and athlete. Smith was taken aback when All Blacks coach Ian Foster told him he would lead the team last week, and he was thankful for the additional time to process and plan to assume the title. “I was a bit shocked and quiet at the start but the pre-warning was good,” Smith said. “It’s a great moment for myself and my family ALL SET TO GO: Beach racing returns to Makorori Beach tomorrow.
