A few tickets still available!! High tea at historic Alberton.
Alas, April's Market Day at Alberton may have to be cancelled but next week's high teas will still be going ahead from 27-29 March! Please support our event! This one is so expensive to run so we are hoping for a good turn out.
There are still tickets left for the Friday afternoon session if you'd like an indulgent end-of-the-week treat. In the serene setting of the verandah or the ballroom, savour dainty sandwiches, scones, savouries and cakes by award winning caterers LittleWolf with a glass of Lindauer bubbles and a select menu of Harney & Sons Fine Tea served from the vintage china. With live harp music, a goodie bag and entry to explore the house included, the tea services are always such a lovely occasion.
If you are interested in booking for one of the other services we may be able to fit in a few more and will know closer to the time. To to be added to the wait list please email alberton@heritage.org.nz.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
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?
-
38.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from NgΔruawΔhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
