Are you a fan of fast fashion?

Kelly Dennett Reporter from Sunday Star Times

Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great … View more
Many of us grew up flocking to Glassons, Hallenstein's, Cotton On and Just Jeans for our hardy perennials - jeans, t-shirts, summer dresses - and some of us still do.

But we're increasingly becoming aware that buying a $20 t-shirt that won't last the distance isn't that great for the environment.

While some of us are pledging to only buy second hand or to invest in statement pieces - more expensive items that will last a long time- not all of us have that luxury.

We're wanting to speak to someone who isn't giving up their fast fashion any time soon, whether it's for economic or style reasons, personal choice or indifference to the environment. Maybe you're a student who likes the choice chain store fashion brings, or perhaps you're a parent whose children are growing too fast to risk splashing out on expensive clothing.

If this sounds like you, please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz.

Do you like having fun and being active with your dog? Is your dog possibly bored ? If so come and join us. We are a friendly group and need new members to come and join in the fun.
New Beginners Class- Introduction to Agility: 5th Feb, 6:45pm

If your dog likes being around people, other dogs, gets a bit bored and likes being active this sport could be for you both.

Your dog needs to be healthy, over 12months of age, under reasonable control (does not have to have a perfect recall), sociable, loves being active then come and join the fun. All sized dogs are welcome. If you are not sure you and your family are also welcome to come and check us out and watch some training sessions before you join a class in the future. We are always happy to give you some advice if you think your dog is not quite ready or too young and we can help you to prepare to joining us in the future. The class is not hard and it leads you step by step.

Basically, agility is teaching your dog a number of ‘tricks’ that enable you to be able to perform a number of tasks that are put together and then suddenly you two can run around on an agility course. When you come and see the more experienced dogs working you will realise that the dogs just love to work with their owners and you become a team.

Have a look at our website as you need to join online. It gives you all the info/cost and where we are etc. Once you fill out the inquiry form you then should receive info back on how to join and what to bring on the first night. (This might take a few days) We train on Wed evenings on the tennis courts Mairehau High School, Innes Road entry. Once you have paid then this gives you training for the rest of the year.

Our club is running a Dog Agility Competition on January 25/26 you are very welcome to come and watch the show. Bring the family and the entry is free. Drive in and park on the field.



Looking forward to seeing you soon
