Aaron from Chartwell

🎪KIDS MARKET STALL HOLDERS WANTED🎪

Be a part of this year's Annual Extravaganza in the Park Christmas Market on Saturday 6th Dec 2025 at Elliott Park Nawton Hamilton.

🎪If your aged 5-13years get creative and be a part of our Kids Market. Stalls are to be run by the kids and not the adults. Adults are there to supervise in the background.

🎪 Visitors will experience a lively marketplace where children showcase and sell their own handmade products. Each child is responsible for setting up their stall, displaying their goods, handling cash or digital payments, and interacting with customers.

🎪Parents and the local community play a supportive role, coming along to shop and cheer on our young stallholders. The market is not just an event—it’s a movement that helps shape the next generation of our market entrepreneurs.

For expression of interest please email craftextravaganzanz@gmail.com before Sat 19th July and state what you would be interested in doing.

We would love some interactive stalls, games where kids can participate at your stall. Get your thinking caps on and we look forward to hearing from you. Stalls will be $20 3x3 site, limited spaces available.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

An early-morning bakery rave, complete with DJs, dancing, coffee and pastries, is set to take over Riverbank Lane this Saturday.

Rudi’s Bakehouse is swapping bright lights for the Hamilton sunrise and alcohol for espresso as it hosts what it believes to be one of the city’s first “bakery raves”.
