In perfect condition. Only used twice. A waste to be hanging in a cupboard .... in case! Far better for someone else to have the benefit. View/collect from Rangiora. Phone or message me on 021 084 37041.

Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
SANTA will be at the Waimakariri Council Foyer today and again on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th Dec from 2 pm till 4 pm. There is also a great display of CHRISTMAS TREES, well worth a visit.

My name is Harry and I’m a trained manual therapist who’s just moved back home to Canterbury.
I received my Diploma in Remedial Massage Therapy in Sydney, Australia and have been working on expanding my toolbox of therapeutic and corrective modalities ever since. I focus my energy on concepts that work and create marked, lasting change quickly and effectively.
I use anatomical assessment, careful planning, therapeutic intervention and personalised rehabilitation programs to address clients' pain and physical dysfunction. Whether your complaint stems from muscles, connective tissue, fascia or systemic dysfunction - I will investigate your presenting condition, perform a root cause analysis, treat the cause (not just the symptoms) and support you through the step by step process to rehabilitation.
If you are dealing with stiffness, aches, pains or injury, whether it be a recent development or something you have been dealing with for years, please give me a call and book an appointment on 021 104 4892, or reach me at turnoquil@protonmail.com.
I live in Rangiora and operate out of my home clinic, however I can come to you for an additional fee if required.
I want my service to be affordable for as many people as possible: My hourly rate is $80 per hour with a complimentary 30 minutes extra on our first session to cover a thorough medical history and conversation to get to know each other!
Thanks everybody and have a great Christmas season.
