Waikato Supper Club 2019
The 4th Annual Waikato Supper Club is coming up on Tuesday, 2 April. This wonderful fundraiser supports Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) New Zealand.
With 9 Supper Clubs across the country, this event offers guests a fabulous night out while supporting a great cause. With some of the top restaurants in the region participating, this event is a fantastic corporate hosting opportunity, or a night out with family, friends and colleagues.
The evening begins with an elegant cocktail party at SKYCITY Hamilton. Guests enjoy delicious drinks and nibbles, while getting the chance to participate in exciting auctions and mystery bags. During the cocktail party, each participating restaurant is drawn out of a ballot and randomly matched with each table of guests. This is the restaurant where they will dine for the evening. Guests travel in provided transport to their chosen restaurant and are served with a delicious meal, created by some of Waikato’s top chefs.
To lock in your table go to: rmhc.org.nz...
As part of the evening we will be offering both silent and live auctions, if you would be able to donate an item, big or small, suitable to be auctioned on the evening. In return for your support, any auction items donated will have the company recognised as the donor via logos on the item listing and on the big screen throughout the night.
Any questions, please email waikato@thesupperclub.org.nz
Thanks in advance for any local support!
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

Will these roadworks affect you?
Don’t expect a quick trip between Cambridge and Tamahere for much of this year, because major roadworks are starting.
Asphalt works on that section of Waikato Expressway will run from March through to late 2026, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) says. Motorists are warned to plan for significant delays.
“Unfortunately the pavement, particularly in the slow lanes, has deteriorated faster than expected,” NZTA’s Roger Brady said.
Will these roadworks affect you? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
