Market on Saturday

Magpie Market

Our Xmas evening Market on the 17th November was exciting and very busy. We had 40 stalls and a big crowd through. Santa was kept very busy and it was lots of fun. In case you missed that market, or maybe didn't get to finish all that Xmas shopping, we have one last market before Xmas at our usual time - 1st December (next Saturday) from 10 - 2. There are still loads of stalls booked, sausage sizzle, Heaven's Bakery caravan on site and even pizza and mini Xmas Mince pies from the kitchen. Santa plans to drop by from 10.30 - 12.30 so come along and buy local, buy quality, buy unique and have lots of fun doing it. There'll also be a Xmas hamper to be won - every purchase gets an entry for the draw.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
