Upcoming SeniorNet Activities

Chris Flaherty from Seniornet Hawkes Bay

Please find updated details on SeniorNet Classes, Workshops and other activities below. Remember. it's only $20.00 to join for the year and Classes and Workshops are priced to suit those of us on limited budgets.

All Things Android Group: Scheduled for this Saturday 14 April 2pm. This last session for Term 1 is postponed until next term. We will assess which day might be preferable in Term 2 as it appears Saturday is not popular for Android phone and tablet members.

Genealogy Workshops: Held on the 1st Thursday of every month from 10am. Cost $3 at the door. This very popular interactive workshop is gaining great momentum for members looking to enhance their knowledge of family history. This informal group shares ideas, hints and great tips. Gillian and her helpers are anxious to maintain that momentum and continue through the school holidays on the same day and time each month. Next Workshop is May the 3rd.

One to One Sessions: Wednesdays 10 am to 1pm. These very popular sessions will finish for Term 1 after next Wednesday 18th March. They will recommence next term on Wednesday 9th May. Look out for our next newsletter coming to your in box within the next two weeks with further detail. Call our Learning Centre on 877 2157 and leave a message in need. All voice messages are relayed immediately to a Committee Member.

Term 2: Starts Monday and Tuesday with our Drop In and Bring a Friend mornings on Monday and Tuesday 7th and 8th May from 10am to 12pm. Check out term 2 offerings of courses, workshops, special interest groups, Members Social Days, register early, chat to our Volunteer Tutors, their Helpers and Committee Members and share any ideas you have to enhance your learning experience at SeniorNet H.B.

Enjoy the School holidays starting next week. Hopefully many will catch up with family and friends and we look forward to working with you next term.

Keep safe and happy in Hawke’s Bay these holidays

The Team from Eastern District Police

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.
