Thames Market this Saturday

Thames Market

The perfect recipe for a perfect market day this Saturday: fine weather, a huge number of stalls - new as well as tried and trusted ones, impressive community groups, and a great busker. Among the wonderful lineup of stalls you will find T3's electric vehicle display with three cars and lots of in-depth information; St Johns Volunteer Initiative (they'll be there with an ambulance), Bronwyn with her "floating tea cups" (we're not revealing the secret. You have to come and find out what they are), and Roger McLay busking in front of Lotus Realm. We don't want to brag but Thames Market IS The Vibe.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Purple Poppy Day Saturday 21st February

Carolyn from Thames

Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga is delighted to be working with Thames RSA to hold our town’s first Purple Poppy Day on 21st February. Purple Poppy day is held throughout the Commonwealth to honour the animals that served and died during WWI and WWII and continue to serve in current conflicts.
Our inaugural Purple Poppy Day features creatures from glowworms and pigeons to camels and elephants.
The competition on the day, PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI is a fun way to get involved, with lots of neat prizes.

PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI will be held weather permitting. All other activities will take place inside the museum is the weather isn’t so good.
