Beginner sewing class at Heretaunga Women's Centre needs items please
I will be taking a beginner sewing class at Heretaunga Women's Centre from 25 July and would really love donations of the following to help please; any cotton thread, large pieces of fabric, if you have a sewing machine that still goes and does at least straight and zigzag stitch that is just sitting in a cupboard, dressmaking scissors, any bobbins, needles, pins, sewing patterns (old ones are fine as well as more recent), even wool, embroidery thread, zips - actually any of the sewing things you have in your cupboards that need a new home rather than being thrown out.
Contact me or Heretaunga Women's Centre directly
Please pass this message on to anybody that you think might be able to help

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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?
