Help Needed
Hello Neighbours, I am hoping you or someone you know may be able to help .
My eldest daughter Willow (12) marches in the Pioneers of Canterbury Under 16 Marching team and I am a chaperone for the team.
We are exactly one month away from our NZ championships in Hamilton and unfortunately after many a fundraiser we are still short on our financial requirements to attend the event.
We are approaching local/small businesses who might be interested in making a contribution to our team in the form of sponsorship, either for an individual marcher or to the team.
In return we can promote the business in our newsletter, on our Facebook page and at prizegivings and for larger team sponsorships we can put the business logo on our team gear which is taken to every training and competition both local (every Saturday at Nunweek Park) and Nationally for South Island Champs and National Champs.
I have attached some information for you in the form of a letter from our coach Amanda and a couple of photos of the team in action.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask or email me - philippahardaker@yahoo.co.nz.
Thank you :)
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
