Somerfield Halloween Event 2020
Our Somerfield community and so many residents /families appear to be fabulous supporters of celebrating this annual Halloween event!!
We look forward to another great night at Somerfield Community Centre and seeing many families Trick or Treating safely for another year.
However this year we need to be more vigilant and even safer with hand santising and hygiene in handling wrapped lollies (preferably).
If you are feeling well, please feel welcome to join us at this event but be sure to also scan the QR code or manually sign in at the Somerfield Community Centre.
We don't want to spread any virus while having a fun community night - we all deserve!
Thanks to Tash Higginson who has organised volunteers from the South West Youth Community (SYC) to assist with face painting, craftmaking, popcorn, games and dancing tomorrow night.
Thanks to local resident Kirsten for enabling us to borrow your awesome Halloween decorations once again!!
We will also be taking some amazing Halloween photos of everyone dressed up in our photo booth, and posting them on our SRA FB page!
Feel welcome to share any of your own photos also!
More details & Halloween Friendly address list will be available via our SRA FB event page:

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!

Covid update - National figures
Another worrying week with an almost doubling of the cases in the National figures. It shows how easy it is to flare up if we drop our guards
Canterbury rose from 444 to 667 but once again the rest of the country rose even more, hence our % of the National figure dropped but we did have 223 more cases.
The winter cold and flu might be contributing, but winter is not really here yet.
Stay safe folks.
