Who deserves a statue in your town?

Sir Tim Shadbolt drew some criticism after suggesting a statue be erected in his town for his long-standing mayorship in Invercargill. This week is National Volunteer Week, a time to reflect on those who have given their time selflessly to your community and made a difference. So, which local do you think deserves recognition? Tell us why!

1930s Knitting Exhibition

Denise from Marewa

A new exhibition was created today of hand knitted garments made from 1930s knitting patterns. Some of the pattern pics are on the walls and have QR codes so you can get a copy of the pattern for yourself, most of them completely free of charge.
the exhibition at Creative Arts Napier will be on until the end of the Winter Art Deco festival and more pieces will be added until the start of the festival. These are just two pics of what is on display.
