RANGIORA MUSEUM

Norma from Rangiora

Have you visited our Museum at 29 Good Street? The volunteer staff are on a mission to identify people in their collection of historic local photos. The large collection of more than 10,000 photographs provide an invaluable record. You can also check our archives for family details. The first public meeting for 2026 will be held on Thursday, 26th March, at 7.30pm, and will feature well known local identity Bernard Kingsbury presenting "The History of Cust." Do you live in Cust and wonder what stories are behind this picturesque village?

Call in on Wednesdays or Sundays, 1.30pm to 4pm, and view a vast collection of ceramic owls from Maureen Day which will be on display in the Hawkins Room. In the Dickhoff Room a collection of dolls will supplement the children's theme in that room, and in preparation for Anzac Day some of our early army uniforms as well as a full World War 11 Naval uniform belonging to Colin Rowlands will be on display.

Our public meetings are free and all are welcome, although donations appreciated from non members of the Rangiora Early Records Society. Supper is served too.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

(Trev from Tamatea kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Trev!)
