Hawke's Bay Show

Denise from Marewa

Today, the Hawke’s Bay A&P Society are extremely pleased and excited to announce that the A&P Show hosted in Hastings will be going ahead in October 2020.

The Covid crisis nearly threatened the event proceeding, but with support from local and central government, alongside the Societies family of sponsors and volunteers, who are the backbone of the organisation, we have the confidence to proceed, albeit with changes to both the Society and the event.

The biggest change is that the Royal status of the Show will be placed on hold for a year with the RAS’s blessing, and the three-day scheduled will be reduced to two days.

We are excited to announce the Show will go on!

Thursday 22 - Friday 23 October 2020

Key dates for you to note:
Competition Entries Open - 1 August 2020
Competition Entries Close - 30 September 2020
Show Days - 22/23 October 2020

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
