Restaurant & Toastmaters

Karen from Nawton

A recommendation needed please. I have a special event coming up in June and I am hoping to hold the event at a Restaurant; However I need to know if there are any quiet restaurants in Hamilton?. I can't abide restaurants with music blaring so loudly you can barely talk let alone think. Does anyone know of any suitable restaurants that may be just has quiet background music that still allows you to think/talk, though preferably a restaurant with no music at all?. And what nights is the restaurant open?

1st Upcoming event; Dinsdale Toastmasters club is holding a garage sale on the 18th March at 19 Purcell place, Melville from 8am.

2nd upcoming event; Dinsdale Toastmasters club is having an open meeting on Tues 28th March at 7pm. venue is the Western Community Centre in Hyde ave, Nawton.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

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.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
