Firstly, a Winter Solstice 'happening' at Riverton, with live acoustic music, glowing braziers, hot toddies and a bonfire on the sand, all from the relative comfort of the 'White Elephant' beside Te Hikoi. The braziers will be lit at 6:00 pm, providing the wind and rain haven't arrived to share the evening with us.
It's a family event, so find some children (it's best if they're yours!), wrap them in blankets and bring them along. It'll be a low-key, fun event, ending at Mrs Macs for mid-winter dessert (Hot Figgy, Steamed Pud, not sure yet!).
If you'd like to check before setting out with thermos in hand, email guy10@actrix.co.nz on Monday afternoon (21st June)
The second get-together is in Invercargill and has a serious purpose - we're making some noise about the Government's plans to mine the Conservation Estate, with a march through the streets, placards aloft, to show that there are people down here who don't want the national parks dug up. The march starts at the corner of Nith and Forth streets at 2:00pm on Saturday the 26th of June. I'll be there, wielding a placard that reads, "LEAVE IT IN THE GROUND" with a huge papier mache lump of coal, presently being built in my kitchen. There's fun to be had in marches and parades and this is a great opportunity to meet people who care about the environment, have a good time and get the message across to the people of Invercargill.
