Change of format for Op Shop Ball
BPW FRANKLIN FRIENDS AND PATRONS.
Due to lack of ticket sales for the Op Shop Ball there has had to be a change in format for BPW Franklin 40th Birthday Celebration. Patrons, instead, will enjoy a more modest Award presentation to notable local women at the buffet dinner.
With the change in format the ticket price for the dinner is $45 per person. BPW Franklin is still raising funds for the 2025 Bursary Award and there will be excellent raffle prizes on sale.
We are looking forward to seeing you on August 24th and would like patrons to confirm attendance by Saturday 17 August for catering purposes. Banking information for tickets or refunds will be sent out on receiving contact details from patrons. Please contact secretary@bpwfranklin.org.nz
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
