Te Kowhai News January issue ... without typos.
So this is what happens when you put a newsletter together while on holiday and don't triple check what you're written before you print it.
Many of you in the RD8 delivery zone will receive a printed copy of this newsletter today with errors on P7 within the article about the power outage, where an incorrect date is printed. These magazines have a sticker on the cover to draw your attention to the fact that the power outage is taking place at 1am on 22 January.
The church move begins on the 21 January and takes place during the evening and over night. The power outage is booked (at present) for 1am on 22 January.
The attached PDF newsletter is correct as of today.
In this issue (besides the bits mentioned above):
- An update on the security camera issue within the village.
- Interview with 11 year old speed demon Carson Mackie.
- Your holiday photos.
- Columns by Louise (back to school bikkies), Heather (canine canines), Noel (footpaths, village green expansion and Council news)
- Te Kowhai Market booked for early February.
- Lots of local news!
Next issue due out in March. Send in your SIGNS photos for the March issue to tekowhainews@gmail.com

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
