Playhouse Challenge - A Great Idea ...
And the, FINAL community news item, for the year, so apologies neighbours for all the notices, I just did not want communities on Neighbourly to miss out on activities and events at this time of the year. It's all about "sharing" the information, even through our Neighbourly connections
Have a Wonderful Xmas and Great New Year ....
PLAYHOUSE CHALLENGE......Are you interested? Get a Team Together? For two great organisations!!
Tenants Protection Association Christchurch and Birthright Christchurch are proud to bring you New Zealand's first 'Playhouse Challenge' and the chance to win Canterbury's inaugural 'Best Architectural Playhouse' award.
Five architectural/building teams will be selected to build their playhouses, which will be on display at the 2017 Star Home and Leisure Show from 30th June to 2 July. Following the judging the houses will be sold via auction with the proceeds being split between us and Birthright Canterbury to help us continue supporting Canterbury people with housing needs.
If you have a team that is up for the challenge, just click on the Playhouse Challenge Link for more information. Expressions of interest close on 22 December. As well as playhouse designers and builders, sponsors are also being sought.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
