Round The Bays Steaming Ahead Sunday

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi East Auckland neighbours,

The Ports of Auckland Round the Bays fun run is back on this Sunday following Auckland's drop to alert level 1.

Now in its 49th year, Round the Bays is one of the biggest events to be held in New Zealand this summer.

More than 25,000 people will take part in the event that attracts participants of all ages and fitness levels ranging from professional runners to people aged in their eighties.

The event kicks off at 9.15 am in Quay St and takes in beaches along Tamaki Drive including Okahu Bay and Mission Bay.

It finishes at St Heliers.

Are you planning to take part?

If so, how are you going to play it?

Will you be a walker talker, a serious runner or dusting off the roller skates?

*Please put NFP if you do not want your comments used by Stuff.

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?
