Guide Biscuits coming to Countdown

Cheryl Watson from GirlGuiding NZ - Tawa & Linden

Yes! It's true! Original (plain) Guide biscuits will be available for a limited time in Countdown (and SuperValue or Fresh Choice) stores during October!
$1 from each packet sold will be donated to GirlGuiding NZ.

While Guide biscuits had been a huge part of GirlGuiding NZ’s culture for more than 60 years, it was decided to stop selling biscuits through the membership so they could focus on the core purpose and activities. That decision has freed up hours of very valuable volunteer time, which has enabled Girl Guiding to provide more opportunities to girls and young women.
It is very exciting that Griffin’s and Countdown have been able to bring back Guide biscuits in a way that maximises benefit for Girl Guiding members.

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th

Jeanette from Tawa

I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
