Winter Art Deco festival

Denise from Marewa

There still is a Winter festival this year. One of the free events is:

Strut Your Stuff (Saturday, 18 July)

At 2pm in Market Street outside Two Lippy Ladies. Don’t be shy, show off your best Deco attire. Prizes for Ladies, Men’s, couples, children, Men’s facial hair and being Winter it wouldn’t be complete without a section for furs. Enter on the day. An alternative venue will be advised on the day if wet.

If you don't want to enter the competition, come in to watch. The Encore Dancers will be giving a display too.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
