Crocheters Wanted
CROCHETERS WANTED.
We are a group of older ladies who make patchwork quilts and we also knit and crochet squares and strips to make into blankets for poor people in Moldova and Romania. We are always needing wool and material scraps to keep us going but right now we also need a couple of people who would be willing to crochet round the edges of the blankets when they have been sewn together. If you can crochet and have a bit of free time to help us finish off our blankets, or if you have material scraps suitable for patchwork or odd balls of wool/acrylic, we would love to hear from you. Please call me on 021-057-0371. Pat Gregory

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Why Chiefs lock Seuseu Naitoa Ah Kuoi is sporting new name in 2026 Super Rugby Pacific
Seuseu Naitoa Ah Kuoi couldn’t have wished for a more fitting opponent for his first start of the Super Rugby Pacific season.
The experienced Chiefs lock is back in the run-on side for Friday night’s round-four clash against Moana Pasifika in Hamilton - and now sporting the Samoan matai title of ‘Seuseu’ in front of his first name.

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!
