2018 Cystic Fibrosis Casino Night Fundraiser
The 2018 Cystic Fibrosis Casino Night is on. We'll be offering up the best gambling establishment in town with the friendliest dealers around. We will turn the venue into a place to eat, drink and gamble.
Tickets for this event are limited so tell your friends and please buy early.
You will enjoy nibbles and drinks all evening while you gamble irresponsibly and bid on fantastic gifts/prizes. At 10 pm we'll close the casino and start our live auction led by John Kingston. There will be a silent auction running throughout the evening.
Ticket Price includes entry to the party, auction catalogue, nibbles throughout the night, 5 drinks (beer, wine or soft drinks) and gambling loot. If you run out of drinks or gambling money, additional can be purchased on site.
We’re back for our 5th year to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis New Zealand - Hawke's Bay Branch. It will be another fun night of gambling, partying and bidding for great auction items. It should be the best year yet and our theme this year is black & white. Use your imagination and come dressed to the theme.
Worried about what to wear? The Tabard Costume Hire (Napier Operatic Society) have generously offered a great rate for any costume hired for this event. A $35 per person rate for costume and accessories. Just go into the shop and mention the CF Casino night to get your exclusive rate. They are at 18 Coronation Street, Ahuriri 835-8775. And if you don't wish to go, Fancy Dress, then wear whatever you're comfortable in.... as long as it’s black and white.

Keep safe and happy in Hawke’s Bay these holidays
As holiday-makers enjoy their time in the sunny Hawke’s Bay, Police have advice for both locals and visitors about how to ensure we head into 2026 on a high note.
Inspector Lincoln Sycamore, Hawke’s Bay Area Commander, says he wants everyone to have a safe and enjoyable New Year in our region.
“We welcome you if you’re in Hawke’s Bay to enjoy the weather, food, and everything else our area has to offer. Respect each other, don’t overindulge and make good decisions. Don’t be ‘that person’ who ruins it for everyone.”
🔵 Staff deployed across Hawke’s Bay, to beaches, events and more
“Keep yourselves safe and look after each other,” says Inspector Sycamore.
There will be a strong Police presence in traditional holiday hotspots across our region, including our beautiful beaches.
We all have a responsibility to ensure our friends and loved ones are safe this summer, so keep an eye out and report any concerns you have.”
🔵 Visible presence on Hawke’s Bay roads: If you can’t follow road rules, expect to see red and blue in your rear-view.
Inspector Sycamore says officers will continue to be out on our roads, targeting unsafe drivers.
“Alcohol continues to be a factor in a number of crashes across the region, and we will continue to set up checkpoints and breath test drivers,” he says.
"Wear your seatbelt, don’t drink and drive, stay off your phone and make sure you’re rested."
🔵 When you’re shopping, we’ll be watching
As you flash your cash at the holiday sales, Police beat teams will be conducting routine patrols through retail areas right into the New Year.
Inspector Sycamore says officers will be checking in with local store workers and members of the community.
If you feel unsafe or have concerns about dangerous, illegal or suspicious behaviour, call Police on 111.
For non-urgent concerns you can call 105 or visit www.police.govt.nz... and report the incident online.
