BLEWDEN LILIES & SHOPPING CAMBRIDGE/TIRAU DECEMBER 10
We went on this tour late last year to three very different venues. It was an opportunity to get that different extra-special gift or perhaps spoil yourself. Unfortunately, many that wanted to come had functions that clashed with the date.
The tour was such a success that we decided to redo it, although we changed one venue. Then Covid - 19 prevented the second tour being re-done. However, we are persisting! The venues to be visited and enjoyed again are:
-Lilies by Blewden- Leamington (you may have seen David ion TV in the Covid ads.)
-The Interiors Barn Tirau
- Our new venue is The Heritage Gallery, Cambridge.
You will be given time for shopping in Cambridge before we move on to Tirau.
COST: $45.00pp. (door-to-door transport & Blewden Lilies).

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?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Could having a bigger university presence bring new opportunities and energy to the Bay of Plenty?
As reported in The Post, the University of Waikato is planting roots in Tauranga as it works on “ambitious plans” to grow its Durham St campus. The goal? To see Tauranga recognised as a true “university city.”
We want to know: Could having a bigger university presence bring new opportunities and energy to the region? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
-
70% Yes!
-
20% Nah
-
10% Mmm, let's wait and see
