The Look Out! Performing Arts & Entertainment Guide
January 13 – January 21
The Look Out! Performing Arts and Entertainment Guide is back for another weekly round of things to do, places to go and shows to see.
There are plenty of organised school holiday activities, along with several ad hoc free events, which include the first of 2020’s Movies in Parks taking place in Bunnythorpe on Friday evening.
Among the outdoorsy, work-off-that-Christmas-waistline events is the Walk the New Highway: Hikoi o Te Ahu a Turanga. That joins the Park Run, the Super Sevens, an arts & garden tour, a beach dig, Beats Bites & Brushes, the Globe Theatre’s Summer Sounds Festival, and the 3-day Marton Country Music Festival. Yee-hah!
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.

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.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
