Bookarama starts soon

Terry Fullerton from The Rotary Club Of Cashmere

Thanks to everyone for their generous donations of books and other items. The last day for donations to one of our collection bins is Monday 20 November or Saturday 18th for larger loads. To get the address for larger loads please send an email to info@rotaryinfo.org.nz.

We are still on the lookout for somewhere after the sale to store all of the empty boxes for next year so if you know someone who has half a metre of wall- space at the back of a warehouse or similar please let us know.

We look forward to seeing you at the sale at the Addington Raceway which starts at 9am on Thursday 23 November.

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?

Curious about the full plans? You can check them out here.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
