More than 70 people came through the door of St Peter’s Hall, Paekākāriki on Sunday (15-7-18) to sample the family-focused fun on offer.
Organised by Low Carbon Kāpiti as part of No8 Wire Week, the Midwinter Hullabaloo had activities for all ages and abilities.

Here are some pics for the electric vehicle (EV) and e-Bike test drive sessions we held at Ōtaki College on 7 April and Kāpiti Community Centre 15 April 2018 in co-operation with KCDC’s community garden parties. Thanks to all the people that supported the events including Donald Love, Camille Reffin, Mark Gibbin, Phil Malpas, Liz Mikkelsen, Jean Fleming, Rick Swan, David Rumsey (Melo Yelo) and Sam and Candice King (Avanti Plus Kapiti). There was strong interest from the public. I had my first e-bike ride and it was awesome!
Here is a mostly complete catalog of all the builders and the models they contributed to the display. For more pictures of it all together, see this earlier blog, or get down to Coastlands Mall, Paraparaumu!
Well, after months of preparations and a very full-on day and a half assembling the case, posters, models and mechanics, our model of a Lego Low Carbon Kāpiti is complete! There is far too much in there to cover in one blog post, but suffice to say we have created an exciting and fun vision of how the Kāpiti Coast could be in 2025 if we face up to the challenge of climate change and cut our carbon emissions deep and fast. See below for photo graphs and all the builders and their models, or go see it for real down at Coastlands Mall in Paraparaumu before 22 April.
