Quiz Nights at Sprig & Fern Upper Queen Street
Last night was the first September Quiz Night raising funds for Nelson Tasman Hospice. We had so much fun!
Get a team together and come along one of the next three Tuesday's at Sprig & Fern Upper Queen with all proceeds coming to Hospice.
Our dates are: 12,19 & 26 September. 7pm start.
Quiz entry is $3 per person, around 6 to a team. The more teams we get to come along, the more money is raised 😊 It’s a good idea to book your team in for the night(s) you are attending.
We'd love to see you!
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?
-
40.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below
Alan and Hazel Kerr share Senior New Zealander of the Year Award 2026
Dr Alan and Hazel Kerr describe themselves as ‘just ordinary old Kiwis’, despite being named as the 2026 Ryman Healthcare Senior New Zealanders of the Year Te Mātāpuputu o te Tau.
The amazing couple prompted a standing ovation at a star-studded Auckland event which recognised their tireless efforts, with Alan travelling to and from Gaza and the West Bank 40 times to help children over 20 years, and Hazel travelling 20 times.

LOGS free to a good home
We have these old logs that need to be removed from Waimarama Community Gardens in the Brook. Most not ALL are tanalised. The longest is 3 metres. Would be good for garden edging NOT for firewood as it's tanalised (most of it but there is some that's not) or whatever your imagination can think of.
Please message me if you can take them away - preferably asap.
