Come & try Pickleball on Anzac day at Pettigrew Green Arena 10am
Come & try the fastest growing sport in the USA on Anzac day at 10 am (till 12pm) at the Pettigrew green Arena in Taradale. On your day off, come along & have some fun and meet new people & have a go. All you need is court shoes, everything else is supplied. 1st day is Free ($5 there after)- This is low impact, easy to learn, & heaps of FUN (hence it is growing so fast in the USA it is astounding). I will warn you, this sport is very ADDICTIVE, once you play you will want to play as much as you can. Hope to see you there -- our FB page is "Pickleball Hawkes Bay" - go there for more information and contact numbers -

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
