Community Centre Talk at Mary Potter Community Centre
Air Force Museum of NZ
Rationing in the 1940's
Monday 4 May 2026 1.30pm - 2.30pm
This presentation highlights the effects of rationing on the New Zealand home front during World War Two. It covers subjects such as ration books, items that were rationed, substitutes to rationed items, and wartime ration packs used by military
personnel. A great showcase of how the
average civilian, and those who were
serving, coped with wartime shortages.
This presentation is supported by
photographs from the museum’s archive
and collection items.
All welcome and bring a friend

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
