Auckland grassroots rugby clubs receive funding boost

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Manukau Courier

Two rugby clubs in south Auckland have been named among the recipients of the Bunnings Rugby Assist programme.

Tepapapa Onehunga Rugby Club and Manukau Rovers will receive $10,000 each of Bunnings materials.

This will be used to upgrade sporting facilities to grow and improve the clubs.

Five rugby clubs across the country have received $30,000 and 15 clubs received $10,000 worth of support from the programme.

“The passion and dedication shown by the club volunteers and communities who applied for Bunnings Rugby Assist is really encouraging,” Bunnings director Ben Camire said.

“They share our goal of helping to build grassroots rugby, which is at the heart of every community in this country.”

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.

This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Does anybody know a place in Auckland which takes possum fur?

Betty from Mount Wellington

Hi, my neighbours
One of my friends just caught a big possum from his garden.
He wants to ask if anybody knows a place to collect possums.
Or what he should do with it.
Kind regards
Betty
