'Granny' sprinkling the festive magic for the last time

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Manawatū Standard

Hi neighbours,

Have you got the Christmas tree up yet? We had the pleasure of visiting Granny's Christmas Grotto in Marton when it opened for the festive season.

Hi neighbours,

Have you got the Christmas tree up yet? We had the pleasure of visiting Granny's Christmas Grotto in Marton when it opened for the festive season.

Jenny Greener has amassed decorations and figurines for more than 30 years, and is displaying it for one last Christmas before it is broken up and auctioned off.

It's safe to say Jenny knows her way around a Christmas tree. There aren't many rules that inform her yuletide decor, she enjoys trees and lights of many colours - though isn't a fan of autumn colours in displays or blue tinsel.

What about you? Are there any dos or don'ts or entrenched preferences underlining your festive traditions?

Following a firearms incident in Palmerston North, Police are asking the public for assistance.

What you need to know:
- Palmerston North Police are seeking information from the public following a firearms incident.
- The incident took place outside a hotel on Rangitikei Street, near King Street, on Sunday 3 December.
- It's believed a number of shots were discharged at or near a group of men outside the bar around 1am.
- Police responded and stopped a group of men nearby, locating two .22 calibre firearms in their vehicle, however we are satisfied that these are not the same firearms that were discharged at the hotel. The five were arrested and charged with unlawful possession of firearms and will appear in the Palmerston North District Court this week.

Police are continuing to investigate the incident near the hotel and are working to identify those who were involved.

Police wish to hear from anyone with information with regards to the discharge of the shotgun and the persons responsible and urge them to call 105 quoting file number 231203/5327.

Hello, Bob Selden here from the Greasy Chain Charitable Trust. Each Wellington Anniversary weekend, the Trust organises a Retro Ride and we have tentatively planned one for Sunday 21st January and I need some help please!
The people who previously organised our last one, are away and we have no-one on our board who has any contacts with retro cycles/cycling. Love to hear from anyone who would like to enter (once we have about 15 at least it will be worth running) and also from anyone who can lend a hand.
The business community in the CBD through their rep body Palmy BID are keen to have the event go ahead, which is great. We’re also fortunate that the Retro Ride would be on the Sunday following the Gravel & Tar on Saturday 20th and preceding the National Criterium Championships held at Massey on Monday 22nd – so there should be quite a few people around who have an interest in cycling.

Please let me know your interest.

Pieces of granite - garden sculpture maybe?
