SRA Newslettter & SRA Meetings
Hi all,
I hope you are all well following lockdown and the Covid-19 Crisis affecting many of us in our homes and work situations?
Please do let me or any of our SRA Committee know if you have any particular concerns during this difficult year.
SRA July Newsletter:
Please find enclosed our 28th Issue, SRA newsletter for July 2020 - which has been delivered by at least 10 local residents. Please let me know if you haven't received your newsletter or feel like you should have received one already?
Many Thanks to our regular & casual volunteers who always help to deliver them & make our SRA Newsletter easier and more fun to have delivered to approx 2600 local letterboxes and businesses.
Thanks to the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and CCC staff who have consistently printed and folded 26 of our issues and Krystal Henderson (c/- Ray White Barrington) who has kindly printed in colour & folded 2 of our 28 issues. Post Covid-19 lockdown - our SRA Newsletter has been even more important to help connect some of our vulnerable residents who may be without social media options. Our newsletters appear to be very well received by so many residents & business owners - it is one of the most important useful ways we can communicate with all our community.
This month's newsletter focuses on post lockdown and hopefully may be useful for some vulnerable residents who were living by themselves throughout this difficult year.

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?

82.7% Yes

14.8% No

2.5% Other - I'll share below
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
