Featherston Booktown at Festival of Christmas 📚🎄

Sara Renall from

The Bookseller at the End of the World
Tuesday 12 July 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Greytown Town Hall

Best-selling author Ruth Shaw runs two tiny bookshops in Manapouri (Fiordland) and has written a delightful memoir called "The Bookseller at the End of the World". In conversation with indie bookseller Susan Jane Ryan (Mr Feather's Den Oddities & Delights), Ruth will weave together tales of the characters who visit her bookshops, musings about favourite books, and fantastic stories from her life - which may include the time she was held up by pirates while sailing the Pacific! You can buy her charming book on the night for signing.

Proudly brought to you by Featherston Booktown as part of the Greytown Festival of Christmas.

Tickets are $20 (plus booking fees)and can be purchased here: www.eventfinda.co.nz...

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
