Change of Format for BPW Franklin Op shop ball

Virginia Warren from BPW Franklin Inc

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: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care. Find out more

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
