To this end, I've attached to this message a small 'poster' that can be printed and pinned on walls or notice boards if you think it worthwhile and/or relevant (within the context of your business or organisation) to do so.
Full details about the AED can be found on our web site: www.golden.co.nz...
Please feel free to pass this info on to anyone in Marlborough who you think may find it useful.

Asking on behalf of our Argentinian boarder. She is wanting someone to teach her English perhaps twice a week after 4pm. She has some limited basic English knowledge already. Thanks :)
Another busy month for the crew of the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter with 54 missions throughout across the top of the South Island. We also held out annual Base Open Day on Sunday 30 April with great weather and an excellent turnout.

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.
