We have two new member’s that have completed their training to be firefighters.
Well done Kelvin and Hayden.

Safety Tip – Be safe.

Did you know ashes can take up to five days to cool completely.

Go to the Check it’s alright web site to see if you can light a fire, most fires in this area need a permit.

Time for a clear-out?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale

On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.

Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see. List an item now
