24-hour Hockeyathon - community event & fundraiser on Friday 28 June

Sarah from Forrest Hill

Bring your family and friends along to the 24-hour Hockeyathon at North Harbour Hockey Turf #5 in Albany from 10am on Friday 28 June (Matariki).
There are a wide range of activities planned, giving the community a chance to come along and get involved in 'all things hockey'!
Support, and join, our Westlake Boys hockey players as they dribble their way through 24-hours of hockey to fundraise for an upcoming tour.

Information and sign-ups on our Tour Website hockey-tour.mypagecloud.com...

We have some junior and former Black Sticks running coaching sessions, we’re running a Fast 5’s Hockey Tournament, Hockey Have-a-Go and Skill Development sessions for kids, a Sustainable Stick game, and even a Glow in the Dark game under the Matariki Stars.
Or come and watch as we battle it out on the turf against and with our sister school, Westlake Girls, and a WBHS Teachers / Westlakers team.

There are hockey skills challenges for those who want to test themselves. As well as a sausage sizzle, cake stall, coffees and cold drinks available for sideline supporters. There's even a colouring-in and design competition to keep the youngsters busy.

Check out the website for all the info, and the Programme attached. Sign-up by 23rd June if you're interested in specific activities. Bring your friends and family and join in the 24-hour Hockeyathon fun! Bring some gold coins (though eftpos is available).

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Denim, but make it one-of-a-kind 💙

The Team from SPCA Auckland - Centres & Op Shops

Not every pair of jeans makes it to the rack... but that doesn’t mean their story ends there. Our talented volunteer Annie has been transforming damaged denim into handcrafted bags, hats and aprons in our Onehunga SPCA Op Shop ✂️🧵

This latest batch even features her own hand-sewn designs, and customers have been loving them, they sell almost as soon as they hit the shelf!

It’s creativity, sustainability and community all stitched together, helping animals in need 🐾
