Historic Kopu Bridge open gates
Historic Kōpū Bridge’s gates will be open on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd January, from 7am to 6pm both days, weather permitting. More than 600 people spent some time on the bridge at Labour weekend, showing that this Category 1 Heritage site is definitely becoming a popular place to stroll, cycle, sketch, birdwatch or meet for a chat.
Admission to the Historic Kōpū Bridge is free: donations are always appreciated and will be put towards getting the swing span functioning again during 2021. If you would like to join the roster for these days or volunteer to help at future events and working bees, please get in touch.
The bridge is fully wheelchair accessible.

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?
-
39.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
58.7% No, I enjoy it
-
2% Other - I'll share below

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
