Congratulations Corner!
Congratulations to Palin this week! From Ted:
Just wanted to pass along that Palin won the Koputai Indoor Bowls Club "Pairs Tournament" last night. He also won the club raffle so it was a good night.

SAFE Love Pigs
September 1 is Random Acts of Kindness Day, but if you can't think of anything random to do, you could try some 'planned' kindness and sign this petition to stop factory farming of pigs in New Zealand:

Tennis
Ted and family will be in Christchurch for the next month, so won't be back at the tennis courts till next term. Obviously, the tennis courts will still be available, but it won't be the same without Ted's seemingly endless energy and enthusiasm!
