Butterflies in Balmoral
Love butterflies? Join us this Sunday 20th November from 10am to noon at the Balmoral Heights Butterfly Park on the corner of Mt Eden Road and Balmoral Road (park in Bank St) in Mt Eden.
We are having a volunteer planting and maintenance day so bring pruners, loppers or spades, gloves and sensible shoes. There will be a butterfly talk on The Butterfly Discovery Project at the end so bring your butterfly questions 😃

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
