COLOUR YOUR DAY this Saturday Hamilton
We encourage everyone of you visiting the Craft Extravaganza this Saturday in Hamilton to "Colour Your Day" dress up or wear something and unite as a community and show your support and love. We will have volunteers with donation buckets at the event. All money collected will support the families and Muslim communities impacted by the tragic events of Friday 15th March. Our Community here in Hamilton West as well as our City is made up of many beautiful cultures and diversity.

Will these roadworks affect you?
Don’t expect a quick trip between Cambridge and Tamahere for much of this year, because major roadworks are starting.
Asphalt works on that section of Waikato Expressway will run from March through to late 2026, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) says. Motorists are warned to plan for significant delays.
“Unfortunately the pavement, particularly in the slow lanes, has deteriorated faster than expected,” NZTA’s Roger Brady said.
Will these roadworks affect you? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
Share your favourite main crop potato recipe and win a copy of our mag!
