It wasn’t a Bingo Night but we did have a Full House!

Richard Ponting from Beach Haven Bowls Club

Quiz Night on Friday 19th was our first major event following the COVID upheavals and turned out to be a major success with the largest turnout we have ever had to such an event. Over eighty participants braved the chilly evening to make the event a highly enjoyable one for all concerned.

Our Quiz Master, Dave Hilson, very ably presided over the evening in great style considerable patience and good humour despite the usual Beach Haven banter and the odd challenge to answers. Thanks Dave, you did a wonderful job.

Our sincere thanks also go to all participants for supporting the Club, especially the large group based on the Ray White, Beach Haven Office who also donated the Auction Prize. As in all contests there are winners and losers and also those who came oh, so close. One such team, “I Knew That!” did not quite know enough but pushed the eventual winners very hard to finish just three points behind “Bowled Over” who took out the top prize.

Watch this space for details of our next Social event planned for July.

Regards,

The Badger
Communications Officer

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
