Janet Frame Eden Street Trust

Cara from Waitaki District

Hi everyone. We're really excited to have secured two of New Zealand's best authors for our Writers and Readers Weekend 2018 in Oamaru.

Catherine Chidgey and Kate Camp are both multi-award winning writers and are both longlisted for this year's New Zealand Book Awards.

The creative writing workshop has already sold out! There are two other events to attend -
That 'Inviolate Place' is on at The Inkbox on Friday 16th Feb - an intimate Q&A with each author interviewing the other.

Early Bird tickets from The Opera House are $20 plus service fees (General Admission $25 plus service fees).

The Literary Picnic is a FREE, family friendly event at the Janet Frame House (56 Eden St) on Sunday 18th Feb. Tea, coffee and homemade lemonade provided. Brings rugs, seat and snacks.

These are two incredible writers at the very top of their game. It's going to be amazing. Don't miss out!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
