Featherston Booktown at Festival of Christmas 📚🎄
The Bookseller at the End of the World
Tuesday 12 July 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Greytown Town Hall
Best-selling author Ruth Shaw runs two tiny bookshops in Manapouri (Fiordland) and has written a delightful memoir called "The Bookseller at the End of the World". In conversation with indie bookseller Susan Jane Ryan (Mr Feather's Den Oddities & Delights), Ruth will weave together tales of the characters who visit her bookshops, musings about favourite books, and fantastic stories from her life - which may include the time she was held up by pirates while sailing the Pacific! You can buy her charming book on the night for signing.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

Builder Wanted or seeking builder (LBP).
We are looking for a semi-retired builder or solo LBP to supervise / co-work with me while I undertake an extension project as a self-build . Rates to be negotiated prior to commencement. Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
Thanks Phil
