GABBS Book Fair 1st / 2nd November 2025

Robyn Faithfull from Great Auckland Bargain Book Sale

It is nearly that time again.
The annual book fair at Barfoot and Thompson Stadium is on Saturday 1st November 9am through to 1am Sunday 2nd, then again Sunday from 7am till 3pm.
Most of the books are $3, with a "SPECIAL" area of the best books with prices as marked.
It is our 30th year so hoping it will be even better than usual!!!
We have even more books than last year, and are especially lucky to have a wonderful near new collection of militaria books kindly donated by a collector.
Lots of puzzles, CDs, DVDs, records, and games also available.

Due to the huge number of donated books received, we are closing the drop off for donations as from this Saturday 25th October to give our volunteers time to get ready for the big event.
Bring your own bags to grab some bargains from our huge range of both fiction and non-fiction.
Hope to see you there.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
