Amberley School's family fundraising challenge returns for a third year
Amberley School is once again calling families looking for a challenge to compete in its annual Amberley Rellie Challenge event.
The event is a mystery adventure race where an adult and child (in school years 0 to 8) race together against the clock and other teams. Participants must locate and complete 10 mystery challenges.
The event is now in its third year and has become an annual fundraiser for the North Canterbury school.
The 2020 Amberley Rellie Challenge will be held at the Amberley Domain on Sunday, September 20, from 10am to about 12pm. Entry costs $40 per team and registrations must be made by August 31 to guarantee a T-shirt. Registrations can be made online here.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.2% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.7% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
32.2% Yes!
-
67.8% No thank you.
