The Market is on this Saturday!
Phew - back to Level 1 again thanks to great leadership and decisive action from government - so Thames Market every Saturday can go ahead. Lots of our wonderful stallholders have booked and there are also new ones. A and A Kids with their tie-dye clothing will set up stall. You can have a look what's on offer on their page here www.facebook.com.... And let's do the right thing: use our Covid Tracer posters to sign in when you come to the market. They are placed on both sides of the pedestrian crossing, at the Pahau Street corners, by the Punters' Sports Bar and near the Grahamstown Community Hall.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
