Changes to opening hours at Tauranga Blood Donor Centre

To all of our regular blood donors, and our new donors that we haven’t met yet…

To all of our regular blood donors, and our new donors that we haven’t met yet…
We wanted to let you know about some changes to the opening hours at our Tauranga Donor Centre.
The Donor Centre will no longer be open for regular whole blood donations from 4pm on Thursdays.
The reason for this change is to enable us to meet the increasing demand across New Zealand for blood products made from plasma. A single plasma donation can be made into 13 lifesaving blood products.
To ensure we can continue to meet demand, we have decided to allocate Thursday evenings to plasma-only donors.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
However, to accommodate more appointment times, we are starting a regular mobile blood drive for whole blood at St Peter’s Church across the road. We do hope you can continue to donate with us and look forward to seeing you at your next donation.

We thank you so much for your donations and for your understanding of this change.

Regards,
Team at New Zealand Blood Service Tauranga Donor Centre

Waffles using toasted sandwich maker

Diane from Mount Maunganui

We use a toasted sandwich maker to make our waffles. We just turn it upside down 1/2 way through. Works well. A popular, easy idea for feeding extra guests, and even popular with hungry teenagers. Downside can be that ours only makes 2 at a time but even that seems to take no time at all. … View moreWe use a toasted sandwich maker to make our waffles. We just turn it upside down 1/2 way through. Works well. A popular, easy idea for feeding extra guests, and even popular with hungry teenagers. Downside can be that ours only makes 2 at a time but even that seems to take no time at all. Basic recipe for 5 waffles + tips:
(Dry)1c selfraising flour, 3dsp sugar, pinch salt
(Wet)1/2c milk, 1tbsp oil, 1 egg, 1tsp essence (each time we make a batch we change our essence for variety. eg vanilla, rum, almond or coconut).
Jam glob between layer of mixture
Get out sandwich maker and ingredients first. Turn on toasty machine and while it's heating mix dry ingredients, make a well and add the wets. Should tie in nicely with light going off on machine that indicates that it's hot enough to use. Put dsp of mixture in each groove area. Add a heaped tsp of jam divided up before putting on top layer of mixture to cover jam. Cook 1-2 mins (depending on how cooked you want it - we like it a bit uncooked in middle so only leave 1 min). Turn machine upside down and cook for further 1-2 mins. When finished using machine 1/2 fill grooves with water and close lid for a few minutes to help steamclean the worst of stuckon jam bits and then use a papertowel to dry. Enjoy.

Would be interested in others sharing their ideas and easy recipes to help make this FUN time of the year more hassle free for the host.

Hi everyone, we’re planning to close the Mauao base track before tomorrow morning’s high tide. Here's what you need to know:

• Both the base track and Moturiki (Leisure Island) will be closed from 7am Friday 5 January until conditions are suitable for reopening.

• No plans to close the summit tracks at this stage.

• We’re removing part of the beach access mat so it doesn’t get damaged. It will be reinstalled early next week.

There's also a king tide due tonight around 10pm, so please keep clear of all beaches and waterways, wherever you are along the coast or in the harbour. We’ll be keeping an eye on the wind and tides late tonight. The Mount and Papamoa beachside and holiday parks are prepped. “Proceed with caution” signs are out for now on the Mauao base track. Stay safe.
