The meeting was well attended and much support was forthcoming from the Samoan community.<br />
The Adopt-a-second-team subcommittee are looking for performers, food stall holder, Samoan cultural displays, and assistance with organising the events.  If you would like to be involved, please email <a href="mailto:membership@glba.co.nz">membership@glba.co.nz</a>.</p>
<p>Media Release: 8 June 2011</p>
<p><strong>Grey Lynn Adopts Samoa as Second Team for Rugby World Cup</strong><br />
The Auckland suburb of Grey Lynn will be putting on its loudest shirts and shouting for Samoa during the Rugby World Cup, thanks to the Adopt-a-second-team programme. Thirty-four local communities will take part in Auckland’s RWC 2011 Adopt-a second-team programme, led by Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and Mainstreets. The programme enables local communities to demonstrate support for one of the 19 international teams involved in the Tournament. The <a href="http://www.glba.co.nz/">Grey Lynn Business Association</a> (GLBA) is the driving force behind Grey Lynn, West Lynn and Westmere’s involvement and is working with other community groups to make supporting the Samoan team a success.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.glba.co.nz/">Grey Lynn Business Association </a>RWC Subcommittee Member, Soala Wilson says: “We are very excited to have been given Samoa as a second team because it is such a fitting selection. Grey Lynn has a long association with the Samoan community and this link remains very strong today.”<br />
As well as decorating the main shopping areas in Samoan colours, the GLBA has a number of projects underway to involve local businesses, the local community and visitors in the festivities with the aim of creating an authentic community experience for everyone. This reflects the Auckland RWC’s promise to bring 100% Pure hospitality to visiting Rugby fans.</p>
<p>One of the highlights of the events planned are the historical walks, which will be led by Samoan Grey Lynner Reverend Mua Strickson-Pua.  “We are thrilled to have Reverend Mua Strickson-Pua as the guide for these walks, which will highlight the diverse history of the area. The Reverend grew up in Grey Lynn and is a well-known figure in our community both as a minister and as an artist, poet and social activist.” says Wilson. In the spirit of Samoan community, the GLBA is also working with other community groups to bring more festivities to the area in support of Samoa. Details of these will be released shortly.</p>

<p>Subject: NZ Post closures</p>
<p>9 June 2011</p>
<p><strong>Locals fight to save iconic Grey Lynn Post Office</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.greylynn2030.co.nz/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/rsz_glpo-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1616" title="rsz_glpo-1" src="http://www.greylynn2030.co.nz/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/rsz_glpo-1-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a>NZ Post was left in no doubt last night that Grey Lynners feel passionately about their Post Office (a Post Shop) and are willing to fight to save the services it provides and the historic building. At a public meeting hosted by community group Grey Lynn 2030 and the Grey Lynn Business Association over 50 locals called on NZ Post to urgently reconsider its decision.</p>
<p>Located on the corner of Williamson Ave and Great North Road, the NZ Post plans will see the relocation of the post office boxes and postal services from the Post Office building to a Post Centre franchisee. Kiwibank and bill payment services are to be discontinued. Four NZ Post staff also face an uncertain future.</p>
<p>“NZ Post has clearly misjudged the needs of the Grey Lynn community, many of whom are not internet savvy, and the importance of the Post Office in creating a vibrant hub that supports a lively shopping area for a range of businesses” says local hair dresser, Soala Wilson “I feel incredibly angry and saddened that NZ Post is planning on ripping out the heart of Grey Lynn&#8221;</p>
<p>Chair, John Elliott reminded the meeting that the new super city structure will only work if local communities are strengthened and sustainable. “The NZ Post plans are a backward step when Grey Lynn has been identified as a growth area by Auckland Council”</p>
<p>Cr Mike Lee, while acknowledging NZ Post&#8217;s need to run at a profit, called on the company to consider its obligations to communities as set out in its Statement of Intent and grant a stay of execution until what he called a &#8220;community rescue team&#8221; led by local business people could come up with a solution which would enable continued postal, banking and bill paying services in Grey Lynn.</p>
<p>A resolution was unanimously passed at the meeting for a working group to be formed to negotiate with NZ Post to delay the closure and to reconsider the decision.</p>
<p>Government and Community Relations Manager Peter Fa’afiu, who fronted the meeting for NZ Post, said he had heard loud and clear the message from the Grey Lynn community. He acknowledged the passion for the Grey Lynn Post Office and committed to taking the proposal back to Wellington to discuss with CEO Brian Roche.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<p>Save our Post office public meeting held at the Grey Lynn Community Centre on Wednesday 8 June.</p>
<p>Attendees included Deborah Harcus of the Eden Tce Business Association who is fighting to save the Symonds Street Post Office from closure, Waitemata Local Board members Shale Chambers, Rob Thomas and Pippa Coom; Waitemata &amp; Gulf Councillor Mike Lee and Denise Roche, Green Party candidate for Auckland Central. Apologies were received from MPs Jacinda Ahern and Nikki Kaye</p>

<p>We gather each Sunday at 2pm to care for the whole community garden, and also have monthly discussion meetings on the 4th Sunday of each month at 2pm. There are collective resource areas, worm farms, water tanks, compost areas, peripheries, communal plots, individual plots, trees, meeting room, tool shed etc, which we all look after.</p>
<p>We are very open to new members, and invite people to enjoy and learn more about community gardening by<br />
coming along!</p>

<p><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Grey Lynn 2030 Monthly community meeting Wednesday 11 November</strong></span><br />
We have another monthly meeting coming up next Wednesday. Keeping it quite low key this month and thinking about what we can get up to in 2010. If you have a good idea for a local project and want to raise it and get some other like minded folk to get involved here is your chance to speak up and present to the group.</p>
<p><em>Positive Vision, Practical Action evening</em></p>
<p>Grey Lynn 2030 has a vision of a self –reliant, positive, resilient, vibrant, connected and sustainable community. This month  the focus groups are updating  on making this vision a reality through practical steps. The Grey Lynn Farmers Market is a great example of what amazing results come out of our monthly meetings and community engagement.</p>
<p>Please come a long to get involved and share your ideas with the current focus groups (Waste Away, Traffic calming, Edgars Stream Restoration, Community gardens, Green Screen, Local Government Relations) or to get new focus groups up and running. All welcome at 7.30pm at the Grey Lynn Community Centre<br />
<span style="color: #339966;"><br />
<strong>Wilton St Community Garden</strong></span><br />
We had a fantastic day on Nov 4th with the BNZ CLOSED FOR GOOD crew at the garden.</p>
<p>We managed to clear all the rest of the jasmine and load all the pile of garden waste off the site, filling the 10 cm bin (almost all jasmine root) and paint the fence. Lesson learnt here for home gardeners, jasmine is very invasive.</p>
<p>The day was fine, BNZ team were lovely, we had no accidents and we even finished early. Everything ran like clockwork thanks to our incredibly fantastic team of Wilton Street gardeners who worked so hard to make the day a success &#8211; especially Jacqui for juggling childcare and taking care of the fantastic catering, Margo who took the day off work, Sarah for getting the paint donated from Ponsonby Resenes and overseeing the painting.</p>
<p>Thanks also to all those who contributed lovely baking and the people who dropped by during the day to see how it was all going and have a cuppa. Thanks to GL2030 for the bin.</p>
<p>If you are up at the Farmers Market this Sunday, do come over and see us. We are just behind the Gypsy Tea Room and we will be there on Sunday morning.</p>

Auckland Freecycle</p>
<p>Do you know about Freecycle? In Auckland there are now 1120 members and we are wishing to grow further.</p>
<p>Can you get involved to keep good things out of landfills and helping out our community in keeping New Zealand clean and green. So when you have something that is too much hassle to sell, you don&#8217;t want to see destroyed by the scrap metalers in the inorganic and you have nobody to give it to. Freecyle is the thing.</p>
<p>Once you join, please tell your friends, boss, co-workers, family, neighbours about this way of parting with usable items so that somebody else can use them.<br />
If you got only one person to join it would make a huge difference in expanding our purpose and making our community a cleaner place to live.</p>

<strong>Grey Lynn Farmers Market</strong></span></p>
<p>Nothing much to eat in the house? Never fear, the Grey Lynn Farmers’ Market is here to entertain you this Sunday morning, plus provide you with all the fresh produce you will need for a delic\ous Sunday lunch and see you through the week to come.</p>
<p>Every Sunday but the last of the month the Grey Lynn Farmers’ Market stallholders are serving you with a smile and story of their local produce. From meat and fish, to nuts and honey, to the freshest vegetables of all varieties, it’s all there. And to mark the beginning of summer, fresh strawberries will be available at the market this weekend.</p>
<p>If you have a surplus of fresh produce or seedling, remember you can bring it along to sell or barter at the Ooooby stall. It’s a real help if you can bag it up in saleable units before you arrive and pop your name and a price on the bags.</p>
<p><strong>Save the date:</strong> the Grey Lynn Farmers’ Market is hosting a Twilight Market on the last Saturday before Christmas, 19th December from 6pm to 9pm, Grey Lynn Community Centre, 510 Richmond Road, Grey Lynn.</p>
<p>We look forward to seeing you all at the market tomorrow.</p>

</strong><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Grey Lynn Festival</strong></span><br />
Do you love living in Grey Lynn?&#8230; Grey Lynn Park Festival needs local volunteers for the information tent and other areas of the festival<br />
The festival is on Saturday 28 November at Grey Lynn Park..The festival has changed over recent years. It got very big and now the aim is to bring it back to our community. If you have been scared off by the crowds in the past it is quite different now. Note the lack of big name bands and big publicity. For those of you who have been in the neighbourhood a while it is a great chance to catch up with old friends.<br />
There are the usual smorgasboard of stalls and activities going on through the day, there will be a surprise around every corner! Grey Lynn 2030 will be there in the community space with the community gardens, the Farmers Market and other local groups.</p>
<p>Visit the KidZone on the top field<br />
If your child would like to have a children&#8217;s stall, we will have a free marketplace area especially set up from 10 -12 for traders under 13 please register beforehand!<br />
And also we have a scarecrow competition, create a scarecrow, bring it to the Childrens Area Coordinator, Monique who will be in the ASB tent and then they will be judged and announced on the Whanau stage at 1pm</p>
<p>Just like the Farmers Market, it is good if you can bring cash and leave your car at home.</p>
<p>Please come on down and celebrate the 25th gathering of our Festival</p>

<p>Not to mention lots of spot prizes from stallholders and local businesses, including wine giveaways, Yoga Ground and il buco vouchers and Weatherfield organic seedlings.</p>
<p>It’s also a chance to be involved in electing the Market’s official management committee (see below). To date the market has been run by an interim management team.

<p><strong>What is the Management Committee? </strong></p>
<p>A small group of up to nine un-paid individuals who are passionate about the Grey Lynn Community and prepared to give up to three hours per week for the cause in addition to attending meetings as required.</p>
<p><strong>How do I get involved? </strong></p>
<p>Write a half page brief about yourself addressing the following:</p>
<p>1. What you can offer as a member of the GLFM  Management Committee.<br />
2. Why you want to be involved.<br />
3. What your vision is for the market.<br />
4. How much time per week can you commit?</p>
<p>You can format your own submission or simply complete the attached template. Please submit all nominations to <a href="mailto:greylynnfarmersmarket@gmail.com">greylynnfarmersmarket@gmail.com </a>by the 21st of October. These nominations, along with the AGM agenda, will then be circulated to all members for consideration before the AGM.</p>
<p>Thank you for your continued support &#8211; See you at the Market on Sunday.</p>

Many of the members of Jubilation Gospel Choir  live in Grey Lynn</p>
<p>Jubliation Choir presents FOUR CORNERS– CD Release Tour</p>
<p>How do you celebrate your tenth birthday? Release a CD and throw a party -<br />
or make that four parties. Gospel group JUBILATION are doing four gigs Auckland-wide to celebrate the release of their first CD, SHOUT &amp; NEVER GET TIRED.</p>
<p>Jubilation originals like Rick Bryant’s ‘Learn To Forgive’ and Jean McAllister’s ‘First To Come Home’ mix it with Tom Waits, Isaac Hayes and Don McGlashan classics – the songs hail from the 1840s right through to the 21st century. What they have in common is soul, and they come alive with the Jubilation a capella treatment &#8211; no instruments, just the naked human voice.</p>
<p>The Four Corners tour is a celebration of Auckland as well as a CD launch &#8211; singing at four very different locations around Auckland brings the different parts of the city together in harmony. Gigs in Mangere, Titrangi, Devonport and the central city mean that South Auckland, the West, the North Shore and the CBD all get a taste, while the Eastern Suburbs play their part with the recording studio for the CD being St. Lukes in deepest Remuera. Having sung in front of large audiences around the country with standing-ovation performances at WOMAD, the Tauranga and Taupo Arts Festivals, the Festival of Colour in Wanaka and the Wellington Jazz festival, now is the time for Jubilation to bring it home.</p>
<p>Pulling together 33 singers from all walks of life, Jubilation features a handful of New Zealand&#8217;s most outstanding and celebrated vocalists. Rick Bryant, founding member of Mammal, the Jive Bombers, The Neighbours and the Windy City Strugglers, is an R &amp; B legend on the local scene. Jackie Clarke of When The Cat’s Been Spayed, the Ladykillers and The Darlings, Callie Blood of the Darlings and Jean McAllister of David Lange’s favourite band The Drongoes also bring their fabulous voices to the party.  Other well-known names in the choir are actors Jennifer Ward Lealand and Amanda Billing and writer/director Fiona Samuel, but most of Jubilation’s singers moonlight as builders, political analysts, electricians, teachers, nurses… There’s also a boat builder and a postie.</p>
<p>The group’s repertoire is similarly eclectic – from the soul and R &amp; B style gospel of ‘People Get Ready’ and ‘Operator’ through the alt/country sound of ‘Bright Morning Star’ and ‘Wayfaring Stranger’ all the way to the glorious kiwi gospel of Don McGlashan’s  ‘Bathe In The River’. Jubilation sang the backing vocals for Hollie Smith’s stunning version of this song which graced the ‘Number Two’ film soundtrack and won the APRA Silver Scroll for best song in 2006.</p>
<p>The release of SHOUT &amp; NEVER GET TIRED is a milestone in Jubilation’s ten year history, and the Four Corners tour is a great chance to hear the choir that METRO described as one of the reasons to be proud you live in Auckland.</p>

<p>The Little Grocer have been fab at putting up our posters for both our movie nights. This is very generous as the posters are big and take up a lot of their window!</p>
<p>The Little Grocer have also agreed to supply some nibbles for us before our Food Inc movie night.</p>
<p>I hope you will support them. Here is a little more about The Little Grocer from the owner Alia de Jaltasyrras.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Little Grocer provides a seasonal deli menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner fare.</p>
<ul>
<li>
Wild Wheat supplies us with fantastic sourdough breads and we make a range of pesto, hummus and tapenades.</li>
<li>
We also sell carefully selected fresh fruit and veges and stock organic Coromandel produce when available.</li>
<li>Our vegan chef creates delightful sweets that are not only vegan but also gluten free and we always have vegan and gluten free savoury options available for those with specific dietary needs.</li>
<li>For the sweet toothed amongst us, Super Sweet Sunday is our baking day when we fill the shop with delightful baked goods.</li>
<li>We serve organic Volcano coffee roasted by a small scale boutique roastery located near Ouakune.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Little Grocer, it&#8217;s your local!</p>

<p>Thanks for coming along and supporting the first two markets.</p>
<ul>
<li>This Sunday will be our <strong>third</strong> market for September.As many of you will be aware, our opening day was very busy, yet last weeks market was much more spacious and relaxed. You will be pleased to know that we have created a great deal more space in the market with a new layout. There is now plenty of room to move, browse and talk with stallholders about their produce.
<p>We have expanded the market to provide specialty hot food stalls outside on the street and this week will have Paella Pan making seafood Paella, along with Keith&#8217;s family who will be serving Portuguese and Indian food, so please bring your appetite!</p>
<p>Kokako coffee are running at full speed whilst Elena&#8217;s delicious crepes and Scot&#8217;s smoothies will be swiftly served out of the kitchen in the courtyard.</p>
<p>There is plenty of courtyard space to meet friends, relax, soak up the sun and for kids to play safely.</p>
<p><strong>Vacancy</strong><br />
We are still looking for a voluntary secretary with computer experience who is available for 3 to 4 hours per week. The person will be supported by a dedicated management team and will need to be available on Wednesday evening from 7pm to 9pm. Please see &#8216;volunteer vacancies&#8217; on our website for further information or contact Dion here.</p>
<p>When you come to the market, please remember to:<br />
~walk, skip or cycle: leave the car at home<br />
~ bring cash as Eftpos is limited<br />
~ bring a bag for produce</p>
<p>We look forward to seeing you this Sunday, 20th September between 8am and noon.</p>
<p>Best wishes from the team at GLFM</li>
</ul>
