Last 7 days of Kickstarter Campaign to open Chch's first Cat Cafe.

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

Copied and pasted on behalf of Virginia from Spreydon (who is Nate's Mum).  Like she said if we all just pledged $5 dollars they would easily get to their goal and beable to start this venture.  How exciting for them and for Christchurch.

Hi to all you wonderful Neighbourly folk

My son, Nate, and his wife, Alyssa, are working hard to raise $25000 to help start the first every cat cafe in South Island right here in Christchurch!

They only have 1 week to go to raise the last $8000 and so I'm spreading the word about their crowd-funding project where people can pledge from just $5.00. Every pledge has a corresponding reward. Pledges will only become donations when the $25000 goal is reached.
Every pledge will be greatly appreciated and help to make a wonderful new place for people to meet, have a cuppa and something delicious to eat and interact with Cat Rescue cats and kittens - you could also give a special, forever home to one of the cats or kittens that will be available for adoption.

Check out the Catnap Cafe crowdfunding project and facebook page in the links below. 

Many thanks
Victoria

Sony DT 18-55mm and DT 55-200mm camera lenses

Chris from Linwood

Hi all, for sale I have two camera lenses for APS-C sensor based Sony Alpha A-mount digital cameras. First is the Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM zoom lens - a handy zoom good for wider angle photos through to portraits.

First is the Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM zoom lens - a handy zoom good for wider angle photos through to portraits. Second is the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM zoom lens - handy for portraits through to indoor sports and subjects where you need to zoom in a bit closer from a distance. Both in very good condition, AF works fine, exterior of lenses are tidy, optics have no scratches, no balsam separation, no haze/fog, no fungus, and no dust capable of affecting final images. No hood on the 18-55mm but unless you shoot direct into sunlight you'll not need it. I've shown a couple of example images I took with both lenses at the Botanic gardens not long ago, please check them out...

I previously offered both lenses together for $175, but I'll drop that to $160 - if you wish to buy just one I'll offer the 18-55mm now for $40 and the 55-200mm now for $130.

Any questions please ask.

Price: $160

Wednesday Welcome

Colin Jemmett from Breezes Road Baptist Church

You may have seen the 'Wednesday Welcome' sign outside the church on the corner of Breezes and Wainoni Roads, and wondered what it is exactly. you may have even received an invitation in your letterbox, or seen a notice at your pre-school or doctor's rooms.

You may have seen the 'Wednesday Welcome' sign outside the church on the corner of Breezes and Wainoni Roads, and wondered what it is exactly. you may have even received an invitation in your letterbox, or seen a notice at your pre-school or doctor's rooms.

So what is it, and what do people do there? The idea was to provide a space where people could meet, relax, and have a bit of food and company and something to do. It is held in the church hall from 10am to about 12.30 or 1pm each Wednesday. It is a lovely warm and friendly environment that starts with a yummy morning tea. Folk soon gather around their favourite activity, which might be just chatting, playing cards or table games like Scrabble or Rummikub, there are several types of puzzle books available and also some adult colouring books, pencils and felts. There is a large adjoining space where babies and toddlers can play with a variety of toys. All ages are welcome, from babies to 80's and more.

We have a well equipped kitchen in the hall, and around midday a good lunch is provided. We have served toasted sandwiches, soup and rolls, pizza and garlic bread, and quiche (not for real men, of course!).

We also have a 'bring and take table', if you want to give away stuff you don't need, and you are free to take away anything you could use. It has proved a popular provision and we have had to bring out a bigger table for everything that is brought in!

So, If you would like a place to meet with others and have a warm and relaxing place to be during the week, then please come along and see how you like it. You will find a warm and friendly welcome.
