We would like to invite you to attend our 2019 Annual General Meeting 27th July 1.30 to 3.30 pm at Kelvin Grove Community Centre, 68 Kaimanawa St., Palmerston North.
As usual we believe we have accomplished a great year of community activities that we’d like to share with you as well as hear your side of how our Palmerston North Community includes our community.
Our achievements this year have been >>

• Our thanks to PNCC Community Advisor Julia Panfylova for facilitating the big day, with cooperation from several other organisations.

• Donated $12,500 toward the cost of the double Flying Fox at Linklater Reserve, a very popular attraction for young & old.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
