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

Poll: Have you ever tried learning a language?
Hannah Westbury likes to chat with customers at her checkout - so much so that she’s learning sign language for one regular.
Paeroa-based Westbury has worked in Woolworths for the past seven years and moved to checkout a year ago.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
