NaNoWriMo Summer Pool Opening Days

Kaupapa ā-Mua ki Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai What’s On in Lower Hutt

Message from the Mayor

Kia ora koutou, welcome to the November edition of What’s On in Lower Hutt. It’s getting closer to summer and the end of the year, so take advantage of the warmer weather by heading along to some of the things we have on offer this month!

Swimmers will be excited for our summer pool opening days this month. Come down and enjoy free entry at Wainuiomata, McKenzie Baths and Eastbourne Pools. The Wainuiomata hydroslide will also be free so come early to beat the lines! Read on to find out more details about the open days.

If you want to be inspired by all things earth science, Walter Nash Neighbourhood Hub is hosting EarthFest 2023 – an interactive festival showcasing how our earth works.

The festival features interactive activities, displays and demonstrations giving you the opportunity to see what a potential career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) could look like. Head to earthfest.nz for more information.

For our music lovers, we have two community music sessions with Claire Hewitt at Petone Neighbourhood Hub and War Memorial, as well as Muritai

B

School guitar pupils in concert at Eastbourne Neighbourhood Hub so head along to support our young musicians.

I have three of my ‘Catch up with Campbell’ sessions across November. The first two at Stokes Valley Neighbourhood Hub and The Neighbourhood Cafe are my usual opportunities to sit down and have a chat about any issues you have.

In the last session, you’ll have the chance to take me on in ten pin bowling at Strike Entertainment Centre in Alicetown. To find out more on times and dates, read on below.

I hope you all enjoy November and take advantage of all the great community events we have on offer.

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) NaNoWriMo Writing Workshop: What’s My Prompt War Memorial Library Tuesday 7 November, 5pm

Prompted writing is a brilliant way to stop you from thinking that you can’t write, and will inspire you to continue what you start in the workshop.

NaNoWriMo Writing Workshop: Challenge Your Writing War Memorial Library Tuesday 14 November, 5pm

NaNoWriMo is a globally celebrated, month long, writing challenge that runs every November.

It challenges everyone to write 50,000 words before midnight on 30 November. But don’t worry if you don’t feel that you can write 50,000 words - you can also set your own limit, or even just challenge yourself to start writing!

If you want to learn more about NaNoWriMo, or if you want to see if there are any other special writing events throughout November, head to nanowrimo.org

Do you already write? Would you like a challenge? This workshop will introduce constrained writing techniques to help push your writing to the next level!

NaNoWriMo Writing Workshop: Painless Poetry

War Memorial Library Tuesday 28 November, 5pm A writing workshop that makes poetry easy to understand. You will learn about different genres of poetry and the writing techniques that make poetry such a powerful genre of writing. You will then have a chance to write your own sonnet, haiku and limerick.
