Maungaraki Scouts Mystery Car Run
Looking for a great weekend activity?
Maungaraki Richmond Scouts are holding a Mystery Car Run on Sunday 7 April, starting from Benedicts Cafe, Maungaraki Shops, Dowse Drive, Maungaraki at 11:00 am
Benedicts will be open from 8:30am, serving coffee and breakfast.
How does it work?
Register your vehicle - any type car, van, truck, bus, motorcycle; any number of passengers - at Benedicts Cafe between 10 and 11am and receive instructions and a list of questions/puzzles to solve that will eventually lead you to the Secret Destination.
Rally is anticipated to take 1.5 to 2 hours.
Great prizes!
Once you've found the Secret Destination, enjoy some refreshments at our sausage sizzle and bake sale (cash only, no eftpos). After all or most participants have arrived, prizes will be awarded to winners in several categories, not just the first to reach the final destination.
Maungaraki Richmond group are aiming to send 20 scouts to Jamboree in December, which means a lot of fundraising. So challenge your friends to an amusing race and come along on Sunday 7 April for a great time, great food, fun prizes… and to help our scouts go to Jamboree.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
