Volunteers needed at Wheels this weekend
Volunteers make all the difference - Wheels needs you!
'Wheels at Wairarapa' is going to be a stunner of an event, so how about volunteering?
You don’t need to be into cars, trucks or machines. You just have to be helpful, energetic and friendly and be prepared to do shifts over the three days. There is set up and pack down work to do as well.
Each volunteer receives a free T-shirt, cap and drink/snacks for their minimum of two days work.
Volunteers are key to making events run smoothly and provide a warm welcome to many people attending from outside our region.
The festival is fun for the whole family-friendly over Waitangi Weekend with entertainment, food and drinks on offer.
Cars, bikes, trucks, agricultural and contractors equipment, and even a team of Clydesdale horses with rides available! Get up close to machines restored by hand to original working condition. See rare, private collections of vehicles and machinery.
Clareville Showgrounds is the location and the weather forecast is for mostly sunny weather. So, check out the volunteers section on the website. Come along and have a memorable experience with the team!

Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
