The first geological map of Mt Pirongia - this Wednesday

Dee from Cambridge

Volcanologist Oliver McLeod presents 'The first geological map of Mt Pirongia' a follow on from last year's presentation on 'A geological exploration of Mt Pirongia'.

This event has been rescheduled following postponement from the weather event in Te Awamutu on 25 November.

The book is titled 'Geology of the Pirongia Volcano, Waikato: 1:30,000 Geological Map' which contains a large fold out map and an accompanying, 60 page illustrated text describing the geology of the mountain. The book is published by the Geoscience Society of New Zealand, and will be available in hard copy for sale on the night for $30 cash only.

Te Awamutu Library - Wednesday 9 December 6.30pm

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
