Exciting day out for the kids!
This weekend the military-themed Armistice in Cambridge event is on at Lake Karapiro. Tanks, battle re-enactments and a water-skiing aircraft!

The event runs both Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th. Gates open 9:00am to 4:00pm. Adults $15, kids 12 and under just $5 (under 5’s free).

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.
