Commemoration dinner celebrating 100 years of history!
South Taranaki Mayor Ross Dunlop says it is very fitting that John Gildroy Grant VC and Henry John Laurent VC are recognised 100 years after each being awarded the Victoria Cross.
The heroic actions of these Hāwera men during WWI are to be commemorated with a special Mayoral Dinner to be held at the TSB Hub, Hawera.
The guest speaker for the evening is Brigadier (Retd) The Honourable Justice Tim Brewer ONZM, ED.
Be a part of this special event. Get your tickets from Tarin at TSB Hub: 06 278 0646, email events@stdc.govt.nz or click here to find out more information.
This event is bought to you by the South Taranaki District Council and supported by Mercer and Forsyth Barr.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
34.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
64.7% No, I enjoy it
-
1% Other - I'll share below
