Our club, Browns Bay Bowling Club, is looking for carpet, preferably a plain colour, about 6 - 8 meters square for our annex building.
Perhaps you are upgrading your own house carpet and just want the old stuff gone?? (prefer it from a smoke free home). If it's in OK condition, not yet cut up by the carpet layers, please give us a call and we can go from there.
Thanks so much.

When Wendyl Nissen's mother was suffering with Alzheimer’s, she told some extraordinary stories about her background that Wendyl had never heard before. Determined to get to the bottom of these family secrets, Wendyl found some wild and intriguing stories of loss, grief, and love. She uncovered new relatives, deeply sad adoptions, harsh parenting, complex marriages, and a few rogues.
About the speaker
Wendyl Nissen is a journalist, broadcaster and former magazine editor who is the author of 11 books, mostly about living a chemical-free, old-fashioned life, and also a memoir about her mother's life and illness with dementia. She left the corporate world 22 years ago and now lives in the Hokianga with her husband, 14 chickens (and counting), two cows, two dogs and three stray cats.
