National Volunteer Week 2018 - Quote

Sarah Macdonald from Volunteering New Zealand

National Volunteer Week is next week! (17-23 June). We’ve been busy collecting quotes to reflect our NVW theme:

“Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.”

Have you been to The Birdwood restaurant?

Jo Gilbert Reporter from The Press

REVIEW: The food gods were listening and they might just be Italian.

A couple of months ago I reviewed Somerfield Italian restaurant Piccolo and bemoaned the lack of similar establishments.

"In a perfect world, every suburb would have a neighbourhood Italian restaurant," I wrote.

REVIEW: The food gods were listening and they might just be Italian.

A couple of months ago I reviewed Somerfield Italian restaurant Piccolo and bemoaned the lack of similar establishments.

"In a perfect world, every suburb would have a neighbourhood Italian restaurant," I wrote.

Weeks later, neighbourhood Italian restaurant The Birdwood opened in Beckenham, and after giving them a chance to find their feet, I subjected the staff to the cruelest of tests: bringing four ravenous boys on a wet Saturday night.

When we booked, we had been warned that we would be at a high bar table and when I saw how packed the restaurant was when we arrived, I had to apologise as three boys had turned into four. Would that be a problem? It took some scrambling to find a spare chair but we were seated, no problem.
