Coffee's On Us!
Hey Neighbours,
Julie here from 5050CafeFriends. At 5050, we turn online friends into real-life (cafe) friends and believe that technology is a good thing when it is put to good use to further enhance our lives. So we're combining online(ness) with real-life(ness) and would like to let you know that we have just updated our offer to include customers as well as cafes. How so?
We now offer a cafe's customers a free coffee on us (or beverage to the value of $5.50) when they join 5050 as a Friend for $12.99 per month (by scanning the 'Scan Me!' A4 on display at The Coffee Club, Mission Bay) this gives people the opportunity to support their local cafe (as the cafe in this case - The Coffee Club, Mission Bay will receive the beverage payment) plus ongoing monthly rewards.
Once you have joined 5050 as a Friend, you will also be able to select The Coffee Club, Mission Bay's 5050 Listing to send an invite out to meet other people from your area or who share your interests and meet-them (either in a group (stay safe) or in a one-on-one). And yes, you are notified on the website and by email when other people join as friends from your area or share your interests. You can also auto-renew, deactivate or cancel your subscription at any time.
We've chosen The Coffee Club, Mission Bay because not only is it a great place with a great view, the staff are also friendly and helpful.
And don't worry, we're trialling this system and not about to ignore you if things go slightly pear shaped! Just Contact Us via the Contact form on our website. We're here to help, listen and learn.
Steps:
1/ Scan the 'Scan Me!' image on display at The Coffee Club, Mission Bay
2/ Join 5050 as a Friend
3/ Send out your coffee invites.
4/ Meet up with Friends.
5/ When you are ready, you can show your 'Thank you for joining 5050' email to The Coffee Club staff to redeem your beverage offer.
* If you think other cafes would be interested in this offer, please message us to let us know and we'll contact them to let them know how easy it is for them to Join 5050 as a Cafe (free).
Thanks,

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
Share your question below now ⬇️
Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
