Mystery Bus Trip - A Great Day
Our recent Mystery Bus Trip was a very enjoyable day. We had 45 people in attendance with everyone being treated to 3 great stops. Our first stop was Hohepa Cheeses for a tasting and to have a look around their lovely shop. We then took a scenic drive to Clifton where we had a delicious lunch & got to enjoy the view at the recently opened Hygge at Clifton Bay. Our final stop was the British Car Museum which evoked a lot of nostalgia for many, some even had connections to a few of the cars there that had been sold or donated by family members.
We would like to thank those businesses that supported us in making this event possible and for their fantastic hospitality. If you missed out on this trip we are hoping to hold another Mystery Bus Trip again sometime in the near future for our members and friends of our organisation .

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
