Retirees (or semi-retired)
Just a reminder - if you are retired or semi-retired, sick of the weather and feeling the need to get out and about, meet new people and try some new things - pop down to the Cashmere Club on Tuesday (2nd September) and join your local Probus Club. A brief summary of the official meeting procedures is followed by a mini-talk, then afternoon tea followed by a guest speaker. This month our guest speaker is Professor Catherine Theys, from the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation. Her subject is Stuttering. It should be very interesting. There will be time afterwards to mix and mingle some more if you wish.
The meeting will start sharp at 2pm so it's best to arrive a little bit early! There is no charge for your first three visits while you decide whether this group is for you or not.
We would love to see you - you will be made very welcome. PM me for further infomation or visit

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?
Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.
