THE SPOTSWOOD HALL COUNTRY MARKET - 19 SEPTEMBER

Janine from Hurunui District

The Spotswood Hall Country Market is on this Sunday 19 September, from 10am to 2pm. Free entry and lots of parking available close by. We have a very nice selection of stalls for this Market including antiques and collectables, books, clothing, locally created crafts, rustic wooden treasures for indoors and outside, perfumery, recycled homewares, fabric facemasks and lots more.

Every purchase you make allows you to enter our hourly spot prize draw and also our big bumper prize draw at 2pm on the day, when you'll have the opportunity to win a $100 Gifts & Finds gift voucher.

Get a group of friends together and head on over to the Spotswood Hall this Sunday. It's not too early to pick up some unique Christmas prezzies for your family and friends, while enjoying the relaxed, friendly atmosphere that is the Spotswood Hall Country Market.

At this stage Level 2 COVID protocols will be in place, so you'll need to wear a mask and sign in for contact tracing when you arrive.

Hope to see you there.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
