Thanks to the Cashmere High Students who will participating in our event on behalf of all who may be grieving following the Mosque Mass shootings.
We have many fun games / novelty items to share with anyone attending - Thanks to the All Right Campaign and the NZ Blood Service!!!
We welcome anyone at all to join us and hope you find it a worthwhile experience and you are able to meet some residents /groups within our various communities.
If you or your community group are contemplating ideas for creating a New preparedness / response group then this will also be a great event for you to Not miss!
If anyone local to Somerfield has not yet received a SCERT package and would like for one - please either pick one up tonight or let me know.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
