Volunteers wanted
The Faraday museum is a real gem in our community, and the numbers of visitors and schools is increasing.
We are currently looking for some new volunteers to keep it humming.
So, if you love chatting to people, love tinkering, or getting your teeth into new projects.
Perhaps you are newly retired and miss those smoko breaks, have a trade and looking to support something in your community, or maybe you are new to the area and looking for something to do while the kids are at school.
Whatever the reason we need you.
We are looking for volunteers who are able to offer @ least 3 hours each week.
If this sounds like you, then please get in touch to find out more.

(Don't forget to sign in, and show your vaccine pass to grab a volunteer application form).
Incinerator
Hi does anyone have a garden incinerator they no longer need or would like to sell/give away? I need to burn some accounts/documents - or if anyone has any idea how to get rid of them apart from public recycling let me know - Thanks
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below
