Hello again,
I bet you're all getting tired of seeing my posts but I just want to let everyone know that I have started an I.T Group page.

Since all our shops have closed down and people still need help in the community with I.T. related issues. I figured it a good idea to have a place where we can collaborate together and anyone can ask an I.T related question.

Tēnā koutou i tēnei ahiahi kiritata,

The Government has banned events of more than 500 people to halt the spread of the COVID-19 virus, a measure that will hit an already bruised economy after sweeping travel restrictions last week.

Dan Boyd, co-owner of herbs and spices supplier Raptor Naturals, said the business has been rocked by the cancellation of the Central District Field Days and other significant shows.

It relies on sales from big events for 30 per cent of its revenue.

More than 600 stands will also lose out on the benefits of the event.

What businesses in your area are feeling the pinch? Do you think they will survive the outbreak?
