I can remember the Rawleighs Lady, living out of town my Mother would purchase what used to seem to me to be a lot of potions and pills.... but I have always loved Rawleighs especially that ointment!

Anyway our Friday morning group is having a demo of all of the current/new rawleighs products. If anyone is keen to pop along and have a cup of tea with us we'd love to have you and then you can listen and learn about the products too. No we're not making money out of this we just have a large group who's interested.
So we'll be at the hall at the rear of St Lukes on Te Mata road from around 9.45 this coming Friday the 28th of April and would love to see you.

This had us asking what sweet treats people would like to see returned next and what prized New Zealand lollies may have their production shifted overseas?
My family's favourite is the chocolate fish.
At Christmas and birthdays packets of the pink marshmallow shaped sea creatures appear for dessert, but also a variety of family challenges. These include holding the chocolate fish between the top lip and nose, like a melting moustache.
It was also the prize for player of the day during my school hockey days. If the versatile and much loved fish disappeared we would be crushed.
After much consideration I think the discontinued lolly I would like to see returned is pink Sparkles.
My father has thrown his weight behind the sickly sweet Dream white chocolate creme eggs which tasted like tinned condensed milk.
What would you like to see returned? Let us know below...

Residents can help themselves but they need to take the rings home to chop up: No chainsaws or axes on the sites please. There won't always be wood there - it will be dropped off as it comes available. The three sites are: Flaxmere: Chatham Rd, by the gum trees; Havelock North: on the edge of Tainui Reserve, on Keirunga Rd; Hastings: Splash Planet car park; Grove Rd.

In some parks and reserves the damage has been so great that it is taking a team of nine four days to clean up. Our people plus contractors are working extended hours to get things back to normal and we ask for your patience as we battle through it. About 80 per cent of Council's 170 green spaces were affected which gives an idea of the task. For much more info see: www.hastingsdc.govt.nz...
