Ashley Church Garage Sale
Lots happening today - including the Garage Sale and Market at Ashley Community Church! Plenty of white elephant and jumble items. The corner spa bath is still available as well as other bathroom fittings; an Ashford spinning wheel; over 10 metres of floaty gold sun filter curtaining fabric, clothing from 50 cents up to $50; kitchen ware (current and retro), shoes including large women's sizes, small furniture, books, puzzles, electronic items. We are also expecting Miss Olivia Art, The Rawleighs Man, and I will have a small selection of vintage and retro wares from my (usually) online shop - Dunedin Street Vintage.
I will be busy with the sale preparations from now on so probably can't answer questions. Come along and see! 12 noon - 4 pm today (Sunday 28 October) at the Ashley Church, 39 Canterbury St, Ashley.
Proceeds to our ongoing maintenance and restoration fund.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
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?
-
37.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.8% 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, weβre 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 β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
