BULLETIN 12 November 2021

TODAY in History

Striking worker Fred Evans was badly injured in the Bay of Plenty goldmining town of Waihī. He died next day.

The Australian-born stationary-engine driver belonged to the militant Waihi Trade Union of Workers, which was affiliated to the New Zealand Federation of Labour (‘Red Feds’) and opposed to the Waihi Goldmining Company. In May 1912 the union went on strike in protest at the formation of a company-inspired breakaway union.

Once TCC adopts the City Vision and sustainability framework they need to ask these questions
Is this ENIVIRONMENTALLY sustainable?

This is an appeal for volunteers to help check and refill bait stations along our club bait line in K Valley. There are 37 stations along a loop about 2.5 km long starting at Faulkner St. The task would take about 2 hours and each volunteer would be rostered on once or twice every three months. If you’re keen or have questions, contact Michele  (michele@learningjourneys.co.nz  or 02122336331) Please specify what days of the week would suit/not suit. Thank you’
