Dame Anne Salmond Fundraising Sail, Sat 27 March
Join the tall ship R. Tucker Thompson for a very special sailing with Members of the Arakite Trust and Dame Anne Salmond. Together they will share the fascinating histories of Īpipiri, Eastern Bay of Islands. This area is home to some of the first arrivals in Aotearoa New Zealand nearly 1000 years ago; then around 250 years ago it was the site of some of the first encounters between Māori and Europeans.
The sailing departs from Russell Wharf at 10.00 (ferry tickets from Paihia available) and returns shortly after 4.00 pm. The sailing includes morning tea of freshly baked scones and cream, island stopover and BBQ lunch on board the ship. Vegetarian options available.

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.
