GirlGuiding Making a Difference
Check out what GirlGuiding girls from the local area have been up to in the past month - after we sold all our biscuits.
Rangituhi Team (Tawa/Whitby) commissioned a mural in partnership with Porirua City Council to brighten up an old water building on the corner of Spinnaker Drive in Whitby.
The mural design is the work of Rachel at Artful Kids, inspired by suggestions from local Pippins, Brownies, Guides and Rangers, and was painted by the girls last week!
This it what GirlGuiding is about!

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Art and Craft Market at Kai Tahi - 10 till 3 EVERY SUNDAY!
Hi neighbours
The new Porirua Community Art and Craft market at Kai Tahi in Porirua is now running EVERY Sunday. It's all indoors, and there's over 30 stalls each week.
Opens at 10am and closes 3pm, so you can also grab lunch at the many international food court options. Bring the kids, and your dog on a lead is welcome too!
Parking at the back (on harbour edge) is free - just stay clear of the Staff Only parks.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
