The Wave Issue 83

the WAVE Issue 83, March 2018 published by New Brighton Project Inc. Greetings New Brighton Welcome to Autumn. It still feels pretty balmy out there but it is definitely time to start thinking about winter preparation. Keep in mind that last year Christchurch had a massive shortage of fire wood in the middle of the season. Many people who rely on log burners to heat their homes were caught short with long waits for orders, at much higher prices than usual. The fun is not over though, the Ray White Duke Festival of Surfing kicks off on the 11 th of the month with a week of fantastic events, see page’s 2 & 3 for more info. This Easter Saturday is the Seaside Market‘s Bubble Day with all sorts of bubbly fun! See page 25 or find our event on our Facebook page. Looking for a new dining venue? The Lighthouse Café is now open for Italian dining on Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights from 5:30pm and their BYO licence is only a few weeks away. New Brighton Project has some Thank You’s to share on page 6.
