Hi Neighbours, Auckland's raft of crises in 2020 has resulted in some clever and quick responses. So why can't our decision-makers always be so nimble? Read the story below:
If you want to go kayaking but don’t have too many clues about which boat or paddle is best for you, are unsure of the ‘Rules of the Sea’ or how to interpret weather maps and forecasts? And would like someone to give you a bit of instruction on the water?

And would like someone to give you a bit of instruction on the water?
Then, the FREE workshop on Saturday 10th October held at Coastguard Northshore on Beachfront Lane, Browns Bay, Auckland 0630 from 9am – 4pm could be a good place to start.
The morning will be interactive sessions and include a chance to look at personal and group gear such as VHF radios and Personal Locator Beacons and the chance to discuss what to do in an emergency. The afternoon will deal with planning and going on a short paddle with a skills clinic.
Bring your lunch, boat and paddling kit. If you have a query or are new or from out of town and don’t have any gear contact Shaun Maclaren on 021 2867412 or shaun@kask.co.nz and he’ll endeavour to help you out with equipment to try.
This is a Kiwi Association of Sea Kayaking (KASK) initiative supported by Safer Boating New Zealand.
We thought this was amazing. What a great way to teach your children the value of saving and getting them to add up the money is a fun way to do some maths. You could try using different bottles and different coins here in NZ.

Pick up from Glen Marine Parade.
Quite soft, so I think probably better as children's beds, as I sink in it when I have tried it! Mattresses in excellent condition. Used as guest beds after purchasing off trade me a couple of years ago and only slept in perhaps a handful of times!

Trundler wheels under for storage to make one single bed, or can pull out and even has fold-out legs so can make normal height and have both singles side by side (see pics).
Free pickup any time from 7 Freeland Ave front door. Will delete this listing when it’s gone. Still available. New dry offcuts. Suits repair for most ceilings and walls in the area. Suitable for wet areas. Big piece approx 740x950mm
