Poll: Do you remember the Telecom Classic Motorfest?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Ratepayers old enough to recall when the city played host to a round of the V8s will remember the fallout continued for some time after that, casting a shadow over more than one political career.

But there is a happier tale to be told about Hamilton street racing - with minimal ticket costs, profits going to charity, and vintage and classic cars showcased.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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? 🍫
