A warm welcome awaits you at our local Rebus club. Aimed at retirees, we have a range of activities throughout the year to help you forge new friendships in your senior years. We have a monthly get-together focused on meeting and getting to know new people within the club, with time also allocated to a variety of speakers from within the club ("mini speakers") and external guest speakers. The speakers are usually both interesting and informative and frequently lead to questions and lively discussion. Free morning tea is provided.
Throughout the year we have a number of club outings and we frequently carpool. This is also an opportunity to get to know new people. Passengers are asked to contribute $5 towards car expenses. A Christmas lunch partially subsidised by the club is an popular and enjoyable annual feature.
When: Every 3rd Wednesday of the month
Where: Tararua Club, Tararua Street, Pahiatua
Subscription: $25 per year
Contact: Liz Barnes (President) 027 3388932 rebus.nz/pahiatua
Come along - and bring a friend!

I want to use it for crafting as they are so much more stable to work on than newer ones. Let me know if you have something tucked away somewhere as I would love to come… View moreHi Neighbours - I'm looking to buy an old wooden ironing board if anyone has one tucked away in a shed or storage somewhere.

We're on the lookout for the most beautiful spots in New Zealand, and would love to hear your favourites.
While it will be impossible to include all of them in one article, we'd appreciate your help in narrowing it down. What do you think are most beautiful places in NZ's regions? Do you have a favourite spot in the Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury, Southland or elsewhere?
Feel free to comment below, send me a message or email me at lorna.thornber@stuff.co.nz. Please include 'NFP' in your comment if you do not want it or your name included in an article. Thanks in advance for taking the time to share.
With online being the main mode of communication these days, it's no wonder that there has been a worldwide mail decline and here in Aotearoa, NZ Post has needed to lay off 750 full-time staff. Do you think it's time to say goodbye to the trusty letterbox?
