A great big THANK YOU!!
I just want to say a great big THANK YOU to those of you who responded to my request last week for wool for our group of ladies who knit or crochet blankets, jumpers hats, scarves, etc for very needy people in Romania, Moldova and the Ukraine. Because of your generosity, our ladies are thrilled to be able to keep on knitting/crocheting/sewing etc. as the needs are great and ongoing. As a result we are constantly needing wool to keep on working. Once again, our grateful thanks. If you have any spare wool in the future, or know anyone who might be willing to donate some to our cause, then please don’t hesitate to ring me and I will collect or arrange collection. With kind regards and grateful thanks.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
