The Art of Relating to Art
A series of illustrated talks
Sponsored by South Kaipara U3A. Presented by : Chris Ellwood
In a series of three 2 hour seminars, Chris will take us on a journey through time, looking into the full span of artistic expression from prehistoric time until present day. He will help us open our eyes to what we are seeing and experiencing as we view art.
Chris says “To really appreciate art, we need to have some tools of observation. In the coming talks I hope to share some of these tools. You will see art you love and hate and hopefully you will begin to understand why.”

These days he is a sculptor in metal and is absorbed in learning about art and artists. Chris is a gifted speaker. Attending these talks will greatly expand your knowledge and appreciation of art.

Nicky Horsbrough - Harcourts Helensville

Real Estate Done Right! 🏡✨
A great real estate experience starts with the right agent! Here’s what my clients say about working with me:
💬 “Nicky Horsbrough wins the sale
My wife and I have tried for some time with other agents to sell our 2 x sections in the Helensville area without success.
Nicky took on the challenge of the sale. It did take some time, but Nicky was tenacious, and in the end, we have a successful sale of both properties.
We would certainly recommend Nicky.
Thank you, Nicky.”

Thinking of buying or selling? Let’s get you the best result!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
