Halloween is creeping up! Our recent Halloween Survey has revealed what New Zealanders REALLY think of Halloween. Did you know that only 1 in 10 households give out healthy snacks to trick or treaters, or that our favourite thing to dress up as is a ‘witch’?

We found out that some participants have some pretty wacky costume ideas like; ‘Donald Trump', ‘an inflatable flamingo’ a ‘popcorn vendor’ and ‘grumpy grannies’. Comment below with what you'll be dressing up as this year!

We are in Need of YOUR help for a small gardening project!

Mike Neighbourly Lead from Linwood

Now is the time, with the weather looking good for the next month or so, I am wanting to organise a working bee for the weekend - Saturday 4th November and Sunday 5th November 2017.

Now is the time, with the weather looking good for the next month or so, I am wanting to organise a working bee for the weekend - Saturday 4th November and Sunday 5th November 2017.
From 11.15am till 3pm/4pm - with a BBq LUNCH

I'd like to get it completed by Show Week; Monday 13th November to Friday 17th November.

Little background.
It is to help out the owners of the Augingly Motels; www.audinglymotel.co.nz.........
at 609 Cashel St; who are both in their 80's John and Joan, they are a local business in Linwood, operating for over 45 years and they have owned the business for 25 years.
They have extensive gardens onsite and they've just had their EQ work done and the gardens have been let go, and its a little too much for John to get sorted on his own.
They were kind enough to have us stay there during a tough time in our lives and I want to just do something small for them, I will put on a BBQ lunch on the Saturday and hopefully I'll be able to get some bark and other things needed donated.
It will mean they'll be able to promote themselves more, and it will look more attractive to go and stay there;
They are a local small business; who do help out others in their community, I think it would be a wonderful thing to do with our community. We need a lot of volunteers to do the gardening, the more we have the easier and quicker it is to get done.
Garden size is average, its just over one side of the property.
Rose Garden, and and area to tidy up
If you can help, or know others who might, please get in touch as soon as possible.
Firstly with what day suits best, and what you can do?

I am able to be contacted on email or on cell 0275055811 anytime

Hear back from you soon
