Are you ready?
Hey there neighbours, it’s Catherine from Marlborough Civil Defence and Emergency Management here. It’s national Get Ready Week, and the theme this year is ‘Stay Safe Stay Informed’.
As it’s school holidays, how about having a ‘quick quiz’ with your kids about the ways you can be informed in an emergency? Get the family to pack a ‘grab bag’ in ten minutes (my grab bag has chocolate in it as well as all the recommended stuff!)
There are lots of ways to stay informed and also keep in contact with people who are important to you (hint: you’re using one now). If you’re out and about, keep your eyes open for displays and information, and if you want to know more, hop on the Marlborough District Council’s website or Facebook page, or one of the other sites below.
Get Ready Week is a partnership with Bunnings, Neighbourhood Support, Stadium 2000 and the Picton Library – thanks to them all for helping out.

Festive Farmers' Market Christmas Market
SharpAs Tool Tips
I’ll be at today’s Marlborough Farmers' Market from 3–6pm — a great last chance to get your knives sharpened before a busy Christmas Day.
If you have knives, tools, or other items that need sharpening, come along to the special Farmers’ Market today.
Please note: aside from the statutory days, I’ll still be open.
Cheers,
Ron
