For sports fans looking to continue riding the World Cup high, a switch from soccer to netball could be the right move for you.
Today, head on down to the Trust House Wairarapa Netball complex to see a day of top-level netball and make some noise. Finals day kicks off – or should I say passes off – from 10am. The Premier One game between Celtic United and Wairarapa College will be starting at 1pm and it’s not a match to miss.
Today at Trust House Wairarapa Netball Complex, 10 Colombo Road, Masterton. Starting at 10am.
A taste for tennis
If you wanted to try your hand at tennis, the Masterton Tennis Centre is the place to be this weekend. Organised doubles will be held from 12.30pm today and social doubles from 10am tomorrow. Everyone welcome.
Masterton Tennis Centre,
147 Dixon St, Masterton.
Conservation conscious
Conservation Week 2023 finishes tomorrow and what better way to get your tamariki involved than to visit Aratoi Museum and Art Gallery. Wellington-based artist Jenny Keate’s exhibition ‘Looking Sideways’ is on display and draws inspiration from our own backyard and the Mauri oho native restoration work along the Ruamāhanga.
Today and tomorrow, 10am-4pm, Aratoi Wairarapa Museum of Art and History, 12 Bruce St, Masterton.
An international affair
This week is Aotearoa Spanish Language Week. Pop down to Regent 3 cinemas tomorrow to catch RADICAL – a Sundance Film Festival submission from Mexico. It stars Eugenio Derbez from CODA, the critically acclaimed film that premiered at the 2021 festival.
