Would you like to see the Sevens tournament in Christchurch? The World series visits Paris, London, Hong Kong and currently Wellington. But organisers say the windy capital is no longer the place to be and are looking elsewhere. Would you like to see it in our city?

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

From our schools, community and sports groups to our neighbours and friends, we're brilliant at stepping up, lending a hand and being part of a good old-fashioned neighbourhood.
So it was with great delight that I shared a coffee with the lovely Sally Lane from Compass FM last week.
We think Compass FM is doing a magnificent job in our community (and play some of my favourite music), so we're teaming up with the good folk on the airwaves. We'll be having regular chats about what you can expect to find in your paper in coming days, and sharing our - and your - stories with them.
Listen out for my somewhat dulcet tones on a Wednesday morning and tune in to keep on top of North Canterbury's latest news and events on Compass, 104.9FM.

There was even a third excursion planned for the future.
The family had been seeking a spot to forge a family tradition, and the Waipara River, with plentiful eels and great swimming was the spot for them.
"We've been looking for a regular camping spot. We looked at Kaikoura, but here it's so much closer ... and you still feel like you've been camping."
Some of the kids they took to the spot had never camped before and just loved it, Merriman said.
