Hand-crafted Wood as Christmas Gifts
For the past 20 or so years South Auckland Woodturners Guild has found an empty shop in early November and begun the long process to bring you a sale of our craft in December. Renting a shop may be a simple process but listing, cataloguing and labelling the 2500 items usually on offer is not a simple process. In early November this year we had the added unknown of not knowing what the Covid rules would throw at us and the decision was made to not have a shop. Sad.
However, 17 of our members do have items for sale in the Art of Wood Exhibition which you are most welcome to visit, view, enjoy, and purchase from. It is a just a mouse click away at exhibition.naw.org.nz...
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
