Gentle Reminder to Get Involved
As you may recall, I recently posted a comment inviting you all to come to is the first of our monthly letter writing events. Take the number 23 bus and get off after you see Mikey Ds and you’re nearly at our doorstep.
“…if anyone wants to complain/congratulate Helen or any other of our governing class feel free to come along to our last of Sunday of the month letter writing afternoon. There’ll be pens and paper and envelopes and pots of tea and snacks. Maybe you could direct your ideas about governing our country to the people doing it. Some folks (Sir Ron Oxburgh amongst others) say it’s the best way to effect change in legislation. Even National supporters welcome. 16 Russell Tce Newtown Wellington from one til the tea runs out.”
If no one shows it’ll just be matt and I trying to be optimistic that everyone might just be running a bit late but really feeling very forlorn indeed as we sip our tea and scribble fearsomely intelligent/grumpy things to our MPs. And we don’t want that happening now do we, children?

So what did you write about?
I wrote about not having clock at the lambton interghange bus stop, it’s a major stop and reaaly irks me to not know how far off the bus is. And to Bill McCormick the ambassador from the US about the human rights abuse that is Guantanamo Bay detention centre. ANd I signed a couple of those on line petition things that amnesty international organise.It was a good start.
Aargh! sorry, saw this post too late!
I wrote to the Council asking them to put Please Indicate signs on the dangerous-to-peds intersection of Kelburn & Salamanca. I also wrote a document of intention for these sessions, and made a flyer. Another participant wrote to some MP or other about Happy Valley, and something else, maybe asking the council to make Wellington cycle-safe.
Richface, it’s OK, the plan is for this to be as regular as Uhrwerk.
I didn’t forget, but please accept my late apologies. We were in Levin selling kiddies clothes. Apologies.
Could we write letters in the comments of a dedicated thread on this website and have you guys transcribe them?
Um no.
