Wings tickets selling fast. Are you going?

Piers Fuller Reporter from News of Wairarapa

Wings over Wairarapa Air Festival 2019 tickets are flying out the door. Ticket sales are up 35% compared to the same time last Festival. There have been significant ticket sales from the UK, North America and Australia.
Saturday Corporate Tables and Gold Passes have all sold out months in advance and there are limited hospitality options remaining for Sunday 24 February.
Wings General Manager, Jenny Gasson puts the huge increase in ticket sales down to a number of things.
“The word is getting out about our new initiatives for 2019; people are getting excited and want to experience these for themselves.”
“In 2019 we’re showcasing interactive and engaging displays, demonstrations and hands-on activities. We are offering workshops in rocketry, digital fabrication and coding, circuitry workshops, and people will be able to talk to experts with a range of aviation experience such as engineers, pilots and technicians.”
“We think that many people who’ve been before have realised that this show is going to be a completely new experience, and our new look Air Festival is attracting new audiences, our ticket sales clearly show this.”

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
