Awesome Marriage Course
Hi Neighbours and Friends,
A couple of years ago, we attended this great marriage course and I see it is back being offered again.
Fully recommend it for people thinking of getting married, for young marrieds and for older marrieds. I was a bit surprised that when I told people we were doing a marriage course that the usual response seemed to be one of shock, often followed with an "oh no, you guys having problems?" The answer was "no, we are not having problems, and I figure the way we should keep from having problems is to invest in our relationship - so we are going on this course."
Anyway, here are the details if anyone wants to go to the next one. It is koha based, and you get your own table, just the two of you - they give you a really nice dessert and a hot drink while you are there each night.
Here is the info:

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.
