Hawke's Bay Show
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
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
