Meet in the middle community event this weekend
Are you looking for something fun to do this weekend that's FREE and not too far to travel . 'Meet in the Middle’ on Saturday the 12th of October celebrates Te Ara Ōtākaro, the transitional city-to-sea Avon River Trail and its role in the regeneration of the east.
This is an opportunity for people to come along the trail on foot or bike from either direction (city or sea) and meet in the middle at Kerrs Reach for a riverside family fun day with kids activities, food, beverage and info stands, a multi-code exhibition regatta, as well as free live entertainment on stage 11-3pm with Anika Moa as the Headline Act .
If you want to know more about activities and events or you need help / advice on any matter why not pop in and see us at our weekly clinic. We are at The Loft every Tuesday 11am - 2pm .
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
