Create something awesome!
Have you always had a hankering to try pottery or do you want to refresh existing skills?
As part of the Havelock North Village Carnival on Saturday, October 29, The Pottery Havelock North will hold a “Have-a-Go” day at the HN Community Centre, beside the library, from 10am to 2pm.This is your chance to experience using a pottery wheel or hand building something from clay. There’ll be some friendly, helpful club members on hand to advise and there’ll also be a lovely selection of club members work for sale.
If you’re interested in joining the group, we meet 3 times a week at the Old Girl Guide Hall in Bennelong place.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
