Looking for volunteers
Hi. We at Hawke's Bay Knowledge Bank are looking for more volunteers, family histories, very old Hawke's Bay photos and so on. Oh - also any funding for the KB would be appreciated greatly. We scan and preserve HB history on line (see knowledgebank.org.nz to see what we do). There's lots of options for volunteers including doing work at home - work at Stoneycroft House the home of KB - scanning, typing, assessing, etc etc.We welcome visitors to Stoneycroft to see the place working - we're friendly and love the work - hours are your own to suit - 1 or more a week or a month - your choice - and you'll be helping preserve the history and the memories of the people of Hawke's Bay for the future. If you're interested please look up the website and contact us. Thanks
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
