Curtis Johnstone (left) and Ricky Pincott gearing up for Makara Peak’s new suspension bridge.

By Sharnahea Wilson

Fundraising has begun for an ambitious plan to build New Zealand’s fi rst major suspension bridge in an urban mountain bike park.

Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park Supporters have planned to build a 68 metre-long bridge which will cross over a steep sided gully as part of a new 1100 metre climbing track.

The supporters’ end goal is to turn Makara Peak into a world-class mountain bike park with dual use tracks for cyclists and walkers.

Wellington City Council has given the group the green light to proceed, subject to raising the funds before the building starts.

I have just finished up a post-graduate diploma in journalism from Massey University and I’m excited to start my career in com-munity news. I was lucky enough to do a work placement here at the Independent Herald during the year so I have already had the pleasure of meeting some passion-ate members of the community. I look forward to meeting more people and getting the chance to share your interesting stories and report on the issues you care about.

Local news is an integral part of every community and writing for this paper will give me the chance to meet people from all walks of life. Primary schools to commu-nity centres, I’ll cover it all. I am taking over from the lovely Fiona Donnellan whom I’m sure many of you had the chance to meet. So as you will know I have some very big (Irish) shoes to fi ll.

Ambitious Plans for a Suspension Bridge

Continued from page 1Funding is off to a great

start, chair of the bike park supporters Simon Kennett said.

"It’s going to be a big job to raise the approximately $130,000 to build the bridge, and then around 1000 hours of volunteer work will be needed to build the track.

"We have already had an extremely generous $45,000 donation from one of our supporters, and an auction of old park signage at our recent AGM raised more than $6500.

“We have also raised over $7000 on our Give a Little page,” he said.

The new suspension bridge and climbing track are set to provide a more appealing and accessible route to the summit than the current options, particularly for intermediate users with average skills and fi tness.

R ick y P i ncot t f rom

Mudcycles bike shop is enthusiastic about the new developments.

“A bridge would be ab-solutely amazing, we don’t have anything like that in the Wellington area,” he said.

The bridge is expected to quickly become a major at-traction for mountain bikers, walkers and runners.

Maintaining more than 35km of walking and moun-tain biking single tracks, as well as the building of new tracks, the supporters are excited for a new suspen-sion bridge to add to their already valued park.

The group plans to run their annual fundraising race The Creek to Peak Relay on December 6 with the hopes of having the sus-pension bridge completed by mid next year. To make a donation visit: http://givealittle.co.nz/cause/makarapeak A similar image of what the suspension bridge will look like.

Well-known Wellington ar-chitecture fi rm, Athfi eld Archi-tects, will provide architectural and design services for the new $16.5 million Johnsonville Library project.

Johnsonville’s new library, which will be located adjacent to Keith Spry Pool and John-sonville Community Centre, will be a modern library space providing the latest technology for visitors.

Councillor Sarah Free, who

is also the portfolio leader for community facilities, says it is a fantastic opportunity to create an integrated community facil-ity for Johnsonville.

“Families will be able to enjoy the pool, a new modern library and community centre all in one visit.”

Councillor Paul Eagle, who is also the chair of the community sport and recreation committee, says the library is a fl agship de-velopment for the council which

will make a real difference for the local community.

“We’re planning a smart, sustainable building which will provide a great precedent for future community projects.”

A concept design for the new library is due to be completed by November, developed design will be completed by May 2016 and detailed design will be completed by September next year.

Construction will begin in

2017, and completion is planned for May 2018.

There will also be an op-portunity for members of the community to have their say, with community consultation taking place at each stage of the design.

Mural Inspires Safety in the City

Rhys Egan and some of the residents of Boulcott House, Maiya Thompson (left), Bella Lum and Danelle Cox.

A Wellington student has won an award for his work promoting an anti-bullying message on an inner city mural.

Rhys Egan, Victoria Univer-sity student, was ‘shocked’ to be presented with a Safety in the City award by Wellington City Council last Thursday.

“That was really cool, I didn’t really think I was as deserving as the other recipients but it was so nice to be acknowledged,” he said.

Rhys, who is studying biology and geography, was recognised for his work rallying students and the community, including the Boys and Girls Institute (BGI), to help him create an anti-bullying mural.

The idea for the mural arose when Mckee Fehl Construction had to create a walkway inside the old Dominion Post building in order to use the footpath for deliveries to the site.

Project manager Helen Moate thought a mural would “brighten up” the walkway and contacted Egan through youth organisation BGI.

“It’s an unusual thing to ask a pedestrian to go into a building so we are trying to make it more

inviting,” she said.McKee Fehl Construction is

redeveloping the building on Boulcott Street before incoming tenant Transpower relocate to the building in 2017.

Egan organised students from the Boulcott Hall apartments to design stencils which were then painted on the walkway walls.

The students saw this as an opportunity to promote anti-bullying in the area.

“Our main aim was to brighten up this area because it is on the fringe of the city and seen as a danger area.

“There is going to be a lot of student foot traffi c so it is a fun way to brighten up a space and make it more enjoyable for people,” he said.

Egan hopes the mural will make people think about the anti-bullying message being promoted.

“I do hope people see the art and take on board what it is saying.”

The ambitious student is unsure of where the next mural will go.

“I walk around the city and think we could mural that, that and that, but I’m not sure what’s next,” he said.

KCA celebrates huge milestone

Volunteers at the Warehouse in Grenada North.

By Nikki Papatsoumas

Maya Johnstone and her brothers have had enough of litter in Wel-lington’s northern sub-urbs and they are deter-mined to do something about it.

Maya said while going for a walk up the Truscott Loop track last Monday with her two brothers, Thane and Reeve, they noticed how much rub-bish was lying around.

“We went back on Tuesday night with some shopping bags to collect this rubbish, but quickly realised that we would need bigger bags.”

Maya said she and her brothers ended up col-lecting six large bags of rubbish in half an hour.

Amongst the items they found were a kitchen

sink, a wheel rim, an element from inside an oven and pots and plates. She said they also found countless beer bottles, plastic bottles and plastic bags.

Determined to keep their suburb clean the siblings returned the following night and col-lected three more bags of rubbish.

The k id’s mother, Deirdre Johnstone said she has since called the council and arranged for someone to come and collect the rubbish.

She said Maya was now hoping to organise a cleaning bee with her friends.

Have you noticed the rubbish at Truscott Loop? Send us an email – [email protected]

Kids want local litter stamped out

Maya, Thane and Reeve Johnstone have collected nine bags of rubbish from the Truscott Loop.

Kiwi Community Assistance (KCA) has continued to see significant growth in 2015 at their community support distribution hub which is 100 per cent run by volunteers.

Such a growth in fact that this month KCA celebrated a huge milestone - 10,000 banana boxes of food and non-food have been distributed by the charity to families in need in 10 months of this year.

Tracy Wellington the char-ity’s co-founder works tirelessly with her 65 volunteers to get food and non-perishable items, like clothing, toys, school sup-plies, to families in the local

community by distributing it to clients of partner agencies.

She has come a long way since December 2011 when she started out with the charity on Facebook.

She says since that point they have received “so many generous donations from the local residents in the Northern suburbs of Wellington com-munity as well as businesses”.

The whopping 10,000 boxes have been distributed for free to clients of KCA’s partner agencies such as Newlands Foodbank, Soup Kitchen Wellington, Wellington Night Shelter and many more.

Janine Archer is hosting a seminar on pain-free walking in Khandallah this week.

The free seminar on the three keys to pain-free walking takes place in Khan-dallah Town Hall, 11 Ganges Road. Dur-ing the seminar you will experience how small, slow movements can increase the range and fl exibility of your movement, making it easier to walk up and down slopes or cope with uneven ground.

Never fear Hitesh Gandhi and and his wife Vanita are here. After a 10 week revamp and refurbishment of their dairy in Paparangi the store is now back open for business 7 days a week. The couple are delighted to be back, and happy that the renovation is ‘Everything they wanted.”

The store has been at the hub of the community for three dec-ades, so it’s no wonder that some locals were missing not just the convenience of the store, but

also the friendly Gandhis who put the fact that they are already busy down to “word of mouth”.

“People kept asking when we’d be open again, so we’re happy to be here,” says Vanita.

“We’ve started doing the Lotto now,” says Hitesh so that’s new for the shop. “We’ve also got new fl oors, ceilings and shelves, everything is new,” says Vanita.

About the community store Hitesh says, “We’ve made per-sonal relationships with the community, we really know our customers.”. With being closed for 10 weeks, he admits missing

the element of meeting people, commenting that some people just call in to visit. “It’s a big part of the community, if people are passing they’ll pop in.”

The store is now in it’s thirties, and when they celebrated a quarter of a century they were featured in the Independent Herald, and Hitesh was more than happy to pull out a copy of the original paper from June 9, 2010.

The store was built in 1967, but the Gandhi family have owned and operated the premises for over 30 years.

The Rotary Club of Karori, in partnership with the ANZ is run-ning a series of business breakfast meetings, bringing business lead-ers together in Karori to network and to learn more about Rotary projects. This initiative was launched last year by the Rotary Club of Karori as an extension to its evening Rotary Club meetings to get closer to its business community and to attract support for its various

community interests. The club has now run six breakfast meetings, held every two months or so, and its next event is planned in November. Karori Rotary Club has adopted a � exible approach to meetings for its members and the breakfast programme is widening interest in community activities and al-lowing greater opportunity to mix with retail, medical, education and other leaders in the local area.

The two eldest elders at a Karori retirement home celebrated Inter-national Day of the Older Person by cutting a gigantic slab cake.

Residents of Enliven’s Huntleigh Home, 104-year-old Molly Holmes and 101-year-old Audrey Lee, had the honour of cutting the cake at a special afternoon tea held last Wednesday.

Ms Lee was born and bred in Karori and has lived in the suburb for 100 years.

She said there was no secret to living to 100.

“It’s about taking each day as it comes and just living life. If you’re content that’s all that matters.”

She said all the residents loved the big cake and enjoyed getting together for a special afternoon high tea in the home’s dining room.

“The cake was absolutely beauti-ful. It was a lovely surprise.”

Huntleigh Home recreation of-ficer Gwen Esler said elders of Huntleigh Home enjoyed a special lunch with wine and beer earlier in the day.

Each resident was also gifted

a card, with their own personal message written by staff.

“International Day of Older Per-son’s is a day to show our apprecia-tion for our elders and to celebrate together,” said Gwen.

“This home has such a huge wealth of knowledge and experi-ences combined, and it’s a privilege to work in their home and hear their amazing stories on a daily basis.

“We take any opportunity to make the residents of Huntleigh Home feel special and appreci-ated.”

LETTERS to the editor

Dear Ed, The article on page 3 of your September 23 edition indicates that Khandallah Vil-lage is included in the propos-als to reduce speed limits in suburban streets to 30km/h. Whoever in Wellington City Council decided to include Khandallah on the list appears to have little understanding of traffi c behaviour in this shop-ping centre. The configura-tion of the streets is such that vehicle speeds rarely exceed

20km/h and accidents, at an average of one per year, are caused by reasons of parking manoeuvres rather than speed.

Ganges Road does not form part of any through traffic route. It is, in effect, a parking lot for the local shops. It can only be accessed by a restricted entry through 90-degree turns from Agra Crescent and exited over a restricted hump with a give way sign. There are four restricted width paved cross-

ings in the length of the strip. Because of parking move-ments, typical vehicle speeds tend to range between 10km/h and 20km/h. Traffi c speeds in the streets approaching and leaving the shopping strip, Agra Crescent and Dekka St, are already restricted by the provision of humps and further, in the case of Dekka Street, by a severe hump containing a pedestrian crossing, and by the narrowing of the road to

an effective single carriage-way a short distance from the intersection.

The continuation of this proposal, and the costs of implementing it, appears to be pointless in this case when the only noticeable outcome would be additional speed limit signs, adding to the visual pollution already created by a prolifera-tion of parking limit signs.

Dear Ed, I read the article about a possible cinema in Johnsonville in the Independent Herald, 16.9.15. I have lived in Johnsonville/Churton Park since 1987 and have always longed for a local cinema. Now that I am retired I regularly travel to the Lighthouse

Cinema in Petone. I see many Johnsonville people there so I am sure if there was a cinema in Johnsonville, it would be well patronised and possibly locals not currently going to the movies would resume that past time again.

Cheryl Austin, Churton Park

More on cinema

Dear Ed, As Shirley Simcock wrote (Independent Herald, September 23) Johnsonville had a suburban picture thea-tre in the 1950s, the Empress Theatre, also known as Moores Hall. I recall attending some Saturday afternoon matinees there at

2pm, probably to see a cowboy serial then a feature fi lm. The Empress Theatre was in Johnsonville Road, now the Countdown carpark.

Dear Ed, Is it just me or is Marsden Vil-lage a buzz of activity lately? There seems to be added community spirit around the place these days, honestly it’s a great place to spend an hour or two now what with the

hair dressers, Sweet for a cake and tea, the yoga hub, and the pub in the evenings. All in all I have to say I’m quite proud to be living close by!

Sorcha Murtagh, Karori West

Dear Ed, I am just re-sponding to the recent arti-cle in the Independent Her-ald September 30 edition. While the changes may have enhanced Moorefi eld and Broderick Rds, it has done nothing to help the debacle along Johnsonville

Dear Ed, Yes, I think it would be wonderful if John-sonville had a cinema.

Even if it’s just a couple of small cinemas it would be great and I think they would be used a lot.

Cashmere Home’s ‘Chicks with Sticks’ are encouraging locals to check out the home’s new knitting group.

The group, which isn’t just for females, gets together every Wednesday at 2pm at Cashmere Home.

Knitting group member and Cashmere Home resident Margaret Spittal explains the group is currently making small blankets to donate to the Salvation Army.

“The Men’s Shed in Naenae, which my son belongs to, is making little doll’s cots to donate to the Salvation Army for children’s Christmas presents, and they asked if we could make little peggy square blankets for the cots.”

The Cashmere Home knitting group needs to make 14 peggy square blankets for dolls cots before Christmas.

“It’s for a good cause, but we need more knit-ters to help with the project,” says Margaret, who has been knitting for as long as she can remember.

“If you don’t know how to knit then it’s the perfect way to learn how and, if you’re already a good knitter then we’d love the extra help.”

Cashmere Home recreation officer Liz Rivadelo is a knitting group member and is learning how to knit while contributing to the blanket project.

“I’ve never knitted in my life, so Margaret is teaching me,” Liz explains.

“We’re inviting people from the community to come and be part of this project as well. It’s an opportunity to learn how to knit and help with a good cause.”

Liz says the knitting group project ties in with the Eden Alternative, a unique model of care used by all Enliven homes.

“The knitting group project shows residents that they are still able to give back, even though they live in residential care,” Liz explains.

“It’s meaningful activity with purpose and it’s also an opportunity to socialise and form friendships.”

The Eden Alternative uses 10 principles which touch on ideas such as variety and spontaneity, companionship, contact with animals and children, continuing hobbies and residents being part of the decision making.

Enliven’s Cashmere Home in Helston Road, Johnsonville specialises in hospital-level care as well as rest home, respite, rehabilitation and convalescent care. For more information about Cashmere Home or to join the home’s knitting group, call 04 477 7067, email [email protected] or visit www.enlivencentral.org.nz.

Once a month, classical music lovers around Karori celebrate their Friday evening with short chamber music concerts, played by some of New Zealand’s top classical musicians.

Orchestra Wellington’s Chris van der Zee runs the Karori Klassics concert once a month, with help from his wife Anna and their colleagues and friends.

The concerts are held at St Nin-

ian’s Church on Karori Rd and are followed by a free supper, although donations are welcomed. Following supper, guests are given the opportunity to mingle with musicians.

The concerts are free, however, small donations of $20 waged, $10 unwaged are suggested.

However, anyone who can’t afford these prices are welcome to give what they can. Concert pro-ceeds go towards Karori organisa-

tions, with Karori West School being this month’s recipient.

The next concert is this Friday, October 9, from 7pm.

Victoria Jaenecke on the viola, Malavika Gopal on the violin, Jane Young on the cello and Calvin Scott on the piano, will be playing music by Bruch, Beethoven, Hin-demith, Guastavino, Ginastera, Granados and Eichner. For monthly concert informa-tion via email, contact Chris at [email protected]

Music to our ears

By Sam Whittle

Saving the environment one stream at a time is the aim of a Wellington East Girl’s College classroom.

Thirty girls have been trampling in mud and standing in freezing cold water to determine the health of a few Wellington streams and they plan on letting the public know about their fi ndings.

Whitebait Connection, an action based community conservation education programme, equipped the students with everything they needed for the experiments.

At the Kaiwharawhara and Owhiro streams they tested the temperature, clarity of water,

nutrient density and made other observations such as how much litter was around.

Student Bella Sexton, 13, says they were trying to fi nd out wheth-er the streams were “healthy or unhealthy” and raise awareness about the state of the streams.

“Our goal is to improve the con-dition the streams are in, and not everyone knows how bad some of them are. We want to prevent them from getting any worse.”

The plan of action for some students is to conduct fundrais-ers to raise money for signage or fences at the stream while others are writing letters to the council full with suggestions on how to protect the waterways.

One student is making signs warning people not to fi sh in the Owhiro stream, which the class found was “unhealthy.”

Bella, who has signed up to be part of an Owhiro stream litter clean up, says it was nice to leave the classroom for a couple of days and do something different.

“It was good to do some hands on stuff and not just hear about it. It was freezing though, our feet got pretty numb.”

She says she didn’t know any-thing about the health of streams, and studying it is has sparked an interest.

“After school I would like to do something in science and to do with the environment.”

Save our streams

By Allison Hess

Wellington’s Cathedral of St. Paul is hosting a Chorister for the Day event on October 10 so children can experience being in a cathedral chorus.

Cathedral of St. Paul spokes-man Michael Stewart explained the idea of the event is so inter-ested young singers aged seven to 15 can see what it is like to be part of a chorus in the hope they might join themselves.

“Just as in the well-known ca-thedrals and chapels in Britain such as Westminster Abbey and King's College, Cambridge, children from as young as seven years old participate in sung

worship at our cathedral,” he said.

The children are treated as young professionals and receive quality musical training, and are regularly asked to sing for orchestral concerts.

“Just in the last fortnight mem-bers of the choristers were asked to sing for a fi lm score recording featuring the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra,” Stewart said.

The cathedral hosted a similar event last year which proved popular enough to make Chor-ister for a Day an annual event.

The afternoon will include music games, a tour of the cathedral and demonstration of

the organ, the rehearsal of some music, the chance to wear the robes that the choristers wear as a uniform, and to join the choristers in a short service beginning at 4.30pm.

“I expect the guest singers will feel inspired by the experience of singing in the grand space of the cathedral, which has an echo of nearly seven seconds,” Stewart said.

On Thursday evenings at 5.30 during term time children lead the St. Pauls service with their singing and reading of the lessons, gaining experience with musical skills as well as teamwork, language skills and public speaking.

Songs in the City

By Sharnahea Wilson A blood pressure cam-

paign at the New Worlds in Churton Park and Newlands was run to emphasise the importance of good health.

Johnsonville Rotary and the Stroke Foundation, with the help of the Wellington Free Ambulance, ran the campaign on Saturday Oc-tober 3 to check people’s blood and help citizens avoid strokes.

President of the John-sonville Rotary Michael Hodgen was delighted with how many shoppers stopped

to get their blood pressure checked.

“Apart from the serious side, and some did have reasons to go on for further checks, there were lots of smiles and appreciation from the community for this free service and advice,” he said.

The campaign ran from 10am to 2pm and accord-ing to the Wellington Free Ambulance a person’s blood pressure was checked ap-proximately every two min-utes, with about 120 people being checked throughout the day.

Volunteers unite to check blood pressure.

For the second year in a row, Queen Mar-garet College has won the Debating Junior Certifi cate Grade Grand Final.

Year 9 students Alexandra Hickford, Eleanor Burns and Lucy Poole were elated to have taken the top title after winning the fi nal.

“We were surprised because it had been a close debate but it was a very rewarding feel-ing after having worked so hard,” Lucy says.

“Queen Margaret College won last year so we wanted to retain the title.”

Lucy was on top form on the night of the debate - she was also awarded best speaker.

This is the fi rst year that any of the students have competed in debating and they were one of 54 teams in the competition.

“It was an entirely new experience – we faced some very good teams,” Lucy says.

A loss at the beginning of the year mo-tivated the debaters to improve and since then, the girls have gone from strength

to strength competing in the semi-fi nals against Wellington High School and then winning the fi nals.

The fi nal debate was very challenging as students argued for and against the moot, ‘this house believes it should be a criminal offence to not vaccinate your child’.

“It was a controversial topic and we only had a week to prepare,” says Lucy.

She adds that debating within parliament was a daunting experience but her team were up for the challenge and kept their focus on the moot.

These talented orators have learnt that a strong team needs to listen carefully to each other and work together.

Lucy, Eleanor and Alexandra have all participated in public speaking previously, but say they have enjoyed the competition element of Debating.

“We certainly want to continue debating together as a team in the future,” Lucy says.

Top debaters win fi nalsYear 9 students Alexandra Hickford, Eleanor Burns and Lucy Poole won the Debating Junior Certi� cate Grade Final.

Wellington families can expect a huge feast of tricks and treats as part of Capital E’s annual spooky extravaganza this Halloween.

The Big Halloween will take place on the scariest night of the year and families are encouraged to dress up and join in the fun.

The event promises entertainment for children of all ages. At Capital E central, younger children aged three and over will journey through a walk-in wonderland

world. Starting in the Lorax-inspired Bloom-

ingville, children will step through textured glow-in-the dark landscapes passing through a forest of noodles and fantasy trees to reach the Rainbow Tun-nel. Inside the tunnel children will make their way through fairy lights, tinsel and balloons to a cloud-like atmosphere featuring a light installation by Massey University students.

Meanwhile, upstairs in Capital E’s MediaLab those aged over 13 can enjoy Virtually Affected, a virtual horror house.

There will also be a variety of events on Queens Wharf including face painting, a pop-up photo booth and food and coffee stalls. There will also be prizes for the best dressed.

As well as this, Wellington Museum will host a Vampire Ball for children aged eight and over.

Capital E Director Stuart Grant said last year The Big Halloween attracted over 3,000 visitors to Queens Wharf.

“This will be yet another great year for the event and is another wonderful addi-tion to the Wellington calendar.”

The Big Halloween is at Queens Wharf on Saturday, October 31, from 4pm to 8pm. For more information head to www.capitale.org.nz.

EYE ON CRIME

Johnsonville Neighbourhood Watch

In Newlands a house in Cyril Way was entered and what appears to have been a lot of spiteful vandalism carried out. Occupants of a house in Stella Grove returned home in the evening and found a man on the premises. He left quickly through a side door. It is not known if anything was stolen. A white Subaru Impreza parked in Spenmoor Street had a magnetic advertising sign stolen from the car door. In Bracken Road an occupier returned home and found that all fuses had been stolen from their external fuse box.

In Khandallah two vehicles were bro-ken into. In Homebush Road a silver Skoda had a left rear window smashed to gain entry and a box of tools and a power saw stolen. Also in Homebush Road a grey Nissan hatchback parked on the street overnight was found next morning jacked up and supported on one side by a recycling bin. All four wheels were stolen and some minor damage done to the undercarriage.

The batter is about to take his place, and the pitcher is about to throw his fi rst pitch, summer is coming and so is softball.

Another year of exciting softball action is taking place, and once again the John-sonville and Newlands Softball Clubs are all ready to go.

The Johnsonville Blue Jays are in the P1 grade, and head to Haitaitai Park fi rst

up to play against Poneke Kilbirnie this Saturday.

All games in this grade are at 3.15pm.Johnsonville and Newlands are a com-

bined team in P1 and they will play against the Hutt Valley Dodgers at Fraser Park on Saturday.

Like the men’s P1 grade all games will be played at 3.15pm.

In the P2 grade there are two Johnson-ville teams, the Bombers in the green pool and the Billy Goats in the black pool.

The Bombers are away to the Hutt Valley Demons at Taita Drive, with a 3.15pm fi rst pitch time scheduled.

The Billy Goats play Porirua City United at Alex Moore Park at 1.15pm

The club also has an under 17 men’s team, while there is a Newlands side in P3.

The Johnsonville under 17’s will play at Alex Moore Park against Porirua City United at 11.00am, while the Newlands P3 side is playing Porirua Club Incorporated at Newlands Park, a 1.15pm start time is scheduled.

The days are getting longer, warmer and sunnier, perfect weather for some great summer sports.

There are many summer sports that happen in the area, including cricket, lawn bowls and tennis among others.

In the Western and Northern Suburbs of Wellington, there are four cricket clubs Johnsonville, Karori, Onslow and Victoria University.

Johnsonville is one of the oldest clubs; in the Wellington region, and has teams in almost every grade.

The Karori Cricket Club, like the John-sonville Cricket Club has been around for many years, and has a solid core of teams

available.The Onslow Cricket Club has been in

existence since 1930, and has teams in all grades.

Victoria University Cricket Club was founded way back in 1906 and plays their games at Kelburn Park.

They possibly have more teams than any other clubs, with the high amount of students that play sports at the university.

There are four bowling clubs in the area; Johnsonville, Karori, Khandallah and Wilton and all provide excellent services in terms of training and support.

Six tennis clubs are available to join if you’re keen on tennis, they are Karori, Khandallah, Churton Park, Newlands Paparangi, Talavera and Ngaio.

Sports only just beginning in summer
