We are creating a website about the winery on Faraday St, Hospital Hill Napier.
We would like to invite those who were employed at McWilliams winery (as it was known then) to send us your story.
If you are happy to contribute your working experience to the website please include:
The year you started,
How long you were employed with McWilliams winery,
Your role ie: Vinter(winemaker), Grape crusher, Bottler, Grader, Security Guard, Management team, Barrel/Vat maker, Cleaner, Engineer or tell us what you were employed as.
Your experiences during your time with McWilliams.
When you finished working at the winery or if you were with the winery the day it closed down.
We are also interested in the history of the property before the winery was built in 1936 post earthquake 1931. Thus far information from Heritage NZ and others are being compiled for the website.
If you have a story or know any history please send us an email: info@theoldwinery.co.nz
Thank you in advance.
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?
-
40.7% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
59.3% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Lawn mowing
Hi Everyone
I have availability on my lawn mowing run at the moment, for regular cutting, in the Napier area. My customers include residential and commercial properties and they are happy with the service I provide. Autumn is also a great time to get your lawn sorted, if you need some help. I have also had customers in the past, that were selling their property and needed it tidied and maintained, while on the market.
So if you are interested or need a quote, or know someone that needs help with their lawns? Please contact me.
You can reach me at 027 3731310 or Bradley.mw@gmail.com
Have a great day!
Michael from Blade Lawns.
