Sunday Winter Bowls at Kohi

The Team from Kohimarama Bowling Club

All levels of bowlers are welcome to join in the midwinter 2-4-2s at Kohi. And we'll have you home in time for dinner! Questions and registrations to Sheri: 021 376 564

Register by noon Friday prior.

The popular 2-4-2 format allows pairs teams to play both Lead and Skip. Less down time (move more =stay warmer in winter play!).

In the first end of the game the Leads start off with their first 2 bowls each. Then the Skips play their 4 bowls. Then the Leads complete the end with their final 2 bowls. Thus, the Leads act as Lead and Skip in the same end.

In the next end the roles are reversed- so everyone stays where they are and the previous end's winners deliver the jack.
The Skips playing First with their first 2 bowls, then the Leads play their 4 bowls, and finally the Skips complete the end with their final 2 bowls. This alternating pattern continues throughout the game.

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.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Can anyone please help with transporting supplies to the Tokoroa dog shelter?

Anne from St Heliers

Hello Neighbours
I’ve collating donations for the SWDC dog shelter (near-expiry food; towels, blankets, plastic beds, toys, etc). There’s enough already to fill a 4-wheel drive or big ute but, at least, a BIG boot full. It would be great to get this to the shelter (esp. the short-dated food) ASAP

If you have spare / unused stretcher beds, plastic dog baskets, bedding, food, metal food bowls, leads, collars, toys, etc which you'd like to donate, please contact me, many thanks
