The website has had some issues this week but hopefully they will be resolved shortly. Please ensure you order by noon this Tuesday to ensure your order will be available at Thursday pick up.
There will be a further 3 lucky draws for Food Together bags this week. Last week's winners were Brigid, Odine and Ruth who all got their bags last Thursday.
Saturday 7 May Food Together Awapuni will have a stall at the St Matthews Plant and Fun Fair (8.30am-12.30). We will have all size orders on display and we will do a lucky draw at the end of the fair for each order to be given away. So if you have friends or family who are curious about us send them along to say Hi and enter in the draw to win one of these different sized orders. The Fair itself is a great event with lots of plants for sale plus other stalls and fun activities for children.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
