Join the fun for another working bee at Woodall Park Pump Track this Saturday

Libby Boyd from Devonport Rotary Club

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to come on down to the Pump Track this Saturday morning the 12th March from 8 am for a few hours during the day through till about 3 pm. Gill and Gundry are giving it another big push with 3 machines working to spread metal and clay on the remaining sections of the track.

We need your help to spread out the metal, clear up and tidy tree branches and the site in general. Bring rakes, wheelbarrows and chainsaws, sunscreen and hats. a reminder to come along to the working bee this Saturday any time you can spare between 8 am and 3 pm. There will be a sausage sizzle running from 10 am to keep you going. You will see great progress on site

Be part of this great project that is shaping up to be a fun place for the young in our area.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
