Cara from Waitaki District

Hi everyone. We're really excited to have secured two of New Zealand's best authors for our Writers and Readers Weekend 2018 in Oamaru.

Catherine Chidgey and Kate Camp are both multi-award winning writers and are both longlisted for this year's New Zealand Book Awards.

The creative writing workshop has already sold out! There are two other events to attend -
That 'Inviolate Place' is on at The Inkbox on Friday 16th Feb - an intimate Q&A with each author interviewing the other.

Early Bird tickets from The Opera House are $20 plus service fees (General Admission $25 plus service fees).

The Literary Picnic is a FREE, family friendly event at the Janet Frame House (56 Eden St) on Sunday 18th Feb. Tea, coffee and homemade lemonade provided. Brings rugs, seat and snacks.

These are two incredible writers at the very top of their game. It's going to be amazing. Don't miss out!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
