Please see the attached notice about the Australia and New Zealand Association of Bell ringers (ANZAB) Festival which is to be held this Queen's Birthday Weekend.
On Sunday we will be having a striking competition from 12:00 midday to 2:00pm. So the bells will be heard around the city.

We will also be attempting a peal on Monday afternoon. This involves three hours of concentrated ringing. It is the bellringers' equivalent to running a marathon!

First there was a battle of the bats in Tamahere Reserve, now signs are at the centre of a controversy.
Each of the three advertising signs used to generate $88 per month for the Tamahere-Mangaone Restoration Trust, which uses the cash to improve the area.
Now Waikato District Council has told the trust to take them down, saying it received a complaint and they are a safety issue.
Trust volunteer Mark Bacchus said the group was seriously considering its future.
"Without this source of funding, operations will need to be severely curtailed."
The signs are less than 60 metres from a controlled intersection, council's community connections manager Megan May said, so they breach a District Plan provision.
