TWO SPECIAL FEATHERSTON BOOKTOWN FESTIVAL EVENTS THIS LABOUR WEEKEND
Check out the two events on Saturday 23 October at the Anzac Hall, 62 Bell Street, Featherston from 11am.
Rick Gekoski, a firm favourite with book festival audiences and his many readers, will entertain in fine style, as he shares stories of his years working in the rare book trade. Local writer and broadcaster Noelle McCarthy will strap in to travel with Rick through his life and times, discussing people he’s met, books he’s discovered, read and written, and dragons he’s slain.
Next up it’s time to saddle up as John Hellemans elaborates on the details of his hilarious cycling adventures during the 2018 Tour Aotearoa in his book A Biker’s Tale. No matter the travails of the day as he rode the 3000 km from Cape Reinga to Bluff, each day he hammered away at his laptop. As well as allowing him to make sense of all that passed through his mind during his day of pedalling, that labour resulted in A Biker’s Tale – a book the Kiwi cycling pioneers, the Kennett Brothers, have called “a must-read for casual and serious bikers alike.”

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?
