Shakespeare’s UseofWeapons & Upcoming Events

Takapuna Grammar’s recent production ‘Shakespeare’s Use of Weapons’ was a huge success. Both evening shows attracted full audiences who enjoyed watching our young thespians deliver a quirky, and frequently comical, take on Shakespeare’s nastier characters and plot lines. The music throughout the show was fantastic too several of our students performed songs they had written especially for the production. Well done to the full cast and crew. After all the disruptions of the last few years, it really was a show to be proud of.

A new website for the Trust - go to www.dpt.nz This has been possible due to the wonderful help we have had from Bays resident and supporter, Urs Steck, and the ongoing support we have had from Alex, at EasyPC. Please send me any further suggestions you have for the website - address below.

You will see the ‘Emergency’ Guidelines on the sitedownload these, go through them, and have your plans ready for the next emergency. If need be, seek help from friends, family, neighbours, in order to be prepared. Bayswater-Belmont Emergency Support – a willing group of residents met at the Rose Centre last week, and agreed that they would like to see the BayswaterBelmont area included in one Emergency Support Plan for the whole peninsula, and added to the Devonport plan that has already been completed. We will proceed on that basis, and thank all attendees for their support.

Devonport Senior Forum

Another great meeting on Thursday 27th - with a very interesting talk by Professor Vanessa Burholt, – speaking about the University of Auckland’s ‘CCreate-Age’ – Centre for Co-created Ageing Research’ – aimed at involving the senior community itself in establishing research needs and opportunities. Two questions we would ask: Is there a need for support for those who care for elderly members of this community? What might that support look like?
