Each lap is 2.5km (despite what it says on the map); start on the centre field (which we call Field D in these instructions) and head along the edge of the football fields. Turn left down the hill to the centre north field (Field A). Run around the perimeter of Field A, then turn right back up the path that you came down, and turn left at the top of the hill and run around the perimeter of the north east field (Field B). Once you have run around Field B, head up the hill to the top (south) field (Field C), and run round its perimeter. Head back down the hill and turn left onto Field D. Run around the perimeter back to the start to do your next lap/or to the finish chute if you have completed your race.
The course is grass, with a few bogs but no creeks or other obstacles.

Sunday, 3 Aug 2014, 18:00 to 21:00: Olympic Cinema Evening [Social], Time Cinema, 191 Sutherland Road, Lyall Bay×
The esteemed Social Committee has, for your pleasure, organised a movie evening for 6pm Sunday the 3rd of August.
The privately owned Time Cinema in Lyall Bay will be the venue and seating will be limited. The theatre itself is a private Museum of cimematic memorabilia and well worth a look just for that alone.
The movie will be the all-time classic CASABLANCA, and to see it on the big screen in its original film form is a rare treat indeed. The 1942 classic won three academy awards, including best picture, best screenplay and best director and stars Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It is preserved in the US National Film Registry as culturally and historically significant, is in Time magazines list of 100 movies of all time (no rankings given) and the American Film Institute has it ranked No. 2 of all movies ever made (so it is pretty bloody good).
The tickets are $20 and for that you will receive: a seat in the theatre, two glasses of wine (red/white stocks dependent) or two glasses of grape juice, cheese and crackers and a small sammy or two. So that's pretty damn good value. You get the main feature, a small amusing short, you get to stand for the Queen and an intermission. How old school is that?
Tickets are limited and this is a once in a lifetime deal, so first in first served good people.
We hope to hear from you soon like ASAP.
Play it again Sam.
Editor's note: the cinema is in a residential street, at the back of the owner's house. If you are looking for something that looks like the Embassy you will be confused!

Saturday, 16 Aug 2014, 10:00 to 12:00: The Great Bays Relay Turkey Trot, Island Bay×
Updated 1 Aug 2014.
2014 details:
Wellington Harrier Athletic Club invites all walkers to participate in the “Turkey Trot” walked in conjunction with the Bays Relay.
What is a “Turkey Trot”?
It’s an event where you estimate your time for the distance (5 km) and results are decided on how close you finish to your estimate. The catch is that nobody is allowed to wear a watch or receive sideline advice on their progress times!
The event is great fun for competitive and recreational walkers. We’ll even admit “Nordic Walkers” if they want to try and all finishers receive the traditional walker’s peanut slab!
We try to finish the event before the runners start, so that the keenest of you can join a relay team as well; or at least get out and support them!
Entry: Register at the caravan at Island Bay, by recording your name and estimated time (and arranging the entry fee), from 10.00 onwards.
Entry Fee: $8. If you’re a registered member of your club, we’ll invoice the Club direct. If you don’t belong to a Club, or are a “Social Member” please pay when you register.
Start Time: 10.30 a.m.
Judging: Walkers will not be judged, but the race manager will be watching for “running”. He will also be happy to offer any comments on style (if asked).
Prizegiving: At the finish line (opposite Warehouse on Lyall Bay Parade), as soon as the last walker finishes. (And the race manager has double checked his maths!)
Saturday, 16 Aug 2014, 11:45 to 14:30: The Scottish Junior Frenzy Relays , Owhiro Bay×
