A large congregation of boy racers gathered their cars at Bunnings Warehouse on Friday night and police said a "vast majority" of attendees were "very well-behaved".

It was said "there were a couple of other incidents during the night, but they were all in relation to locals. Frankly, the boy racers were better behaved than locals."

GUESS WHAT’S IN THE ENVELOPE & WIN!

They're now calling me Little Red Riding Hood with my gift basket, as I’m out and about in the community visiting and sharing freely, with those who want to know what’s happening in the property market.

People are always at the forefront of my real estate business because without people I wouldn’t have homes to sell. There is nothing more gratifying in my day than giving the gift of kindness!

Take a guess at what’s in the envelope I’m holding and be in the draw to win a mystery prize. 😉 🙌 (don’t forget to like my page too)

Poll: Do you use a top sheet on your bed?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Along with landline phones and bar soap, top sheets are allegedly an "endangered species".

It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

Around the world, communities, schools, businesses, groups and people from all walks of life are taking big and small steps in solidarity with refugees. This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.

You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...

Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.

For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz

Marlborough's first rugby pitch-sized dog park will be opening on September 1st. Will you be taking your pup?

If successful, more parks could be opening to accommodate for the 10, 000 dogs in Marlborough, with the park having separate areas for different sized dogs. It'll have weave poles, tunnels, hurdles and a balance beam, plus water bowls and waste bins.

Do you think this is a good investment for Renwick?
