What‘s on - rugby, art and auditions

Westside Theatre in 17th Ave is the place to be today for a free audition workshop to upskill for your next TV, film or stage audition, with Tanya Horo.

Kia ora and welcome to Saturday.

It's a chilly morning with gusty westerlies around. There will be some morning cloud and a chance of a shower or two, but then turning fine for the remainder of the day. The strong winds should be dying out by 7pm this evening.

It's a three-clothing and one-windproof layer day, with an expected high of 14 degrees and an overnight low of 9 degrees.

On Sunday August 4, we're expecting some morning rain developing, but clearing to a fine afternoon. Cloud and a few showers will return at night, and there will be gusty westerlies. For then remainder of the week it will be mostly cloudy days with westerlies and a few showers.

Today there's a huge range of indoor and outdoor activities to be involved with.
