Hi neighbours, residents of Shelly Beach say Mt Roskill Evangelical Fellowship hasn't played fair with its plan to build a Christian camp in the community.

They claim the church has been very unchristian-like in its approach to letting its plans known and didn't consider if the camp was welcome in the area.

Would you be upset if a camp was built near your home?

Strict dress code at Kerikeri High School ball 💃

Fiona from Henderson

For crying out loud!!!
PC gone stark raving mad!!
I understand a certain degree of decorum when the young ladies arrive in formal wear to the school ball is required, after all as it's not a Friday night out at the night clubs, but come on, this is too much.

For crying out loud!!!
PC gone stark raving mad!!
I understand a certain degree of decorum when the young ladies arrive in formal wear to the school ball is required, after all as it's not a Friday night out at the night clubs, but come on, this is too much.
"below the ankle bone"? Really?
There are so many beautiful and modest dresses that fall into the mid level (calf length) or even knee length category.
Some families can't afford to rent the gowns for the ball or even afford all the material to make one. But they may be able to make a mid level dress that is totally acceptable and modest or borrow one from a friend or sister etc .. ore even buy one on sale during the year.
The boys are only required to wear suits that are all one colour, with appropriate dress shoes and a tie at all times.
From experience, boys suit with the full ensemble are far cheaper to rent than a young lady's formal gown.

Hi Neighbours, hard to believe in a cold damp winter that water supply could be an issue, isn't it. Watercare is asking that we avoid waste, have shorter showers and so on, because the storage lakes are below normal. If you remember the 1994 crisis, read this article.
