Our patties are 100% quality beef, and all that’s added is a dash of salt and pepper when cooked.

Covid-19: Several A&P shows fall victim to alert level uncertainty

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

New Zealand’s popular A&P shows, considered by many to be a Kiwi institution, are falling like a house of cards due to Covid-19 alert level uncertainty.

New Zealand’s popular A&P shows, considered by many to be a Kiwi institution, are falling like a house of cards due to Covid-19 alert level uncertainty.

North Canterbury’s Rangiora A&P Show, the Hawke’s Bay A&P Show, and the Gisborne A&P show were all cancelled on Wednesday, following the cancellation of the Clevedon, Waikato, and Wairarapa shows – as well as the South Canterbury Spring Horse Show – in recent days.

For Canterbury’s Northern A&P Association, this will be the second consecutive year their Rangiora show, scheduled for Labour Weekend, has been unable to go ahead.

The South Island’s level 2 restrictions will remain in place while Auckland is at level 3, and the committee said the uncertainty made it too risky for them to incur any more costs.

The committee was working to find out whether some sections of the show may be able to go ahead under level 2 rules.

They said they would let people know, and contact people who had already entered, as soon as possible.

It sell little magnetized sticks and balls to build with (picture often shows an Eiffel tower image). Company is called Linetics (or Linetics Magical Sticks and Balls) although it may change it's name. It is listed as an Arizona company online.

Hello, my name is Roxanne, I am looking for grazing land for my 3 horses.
I am looking for a minimum of 5 acres for them. I have owned lifestyle properties for approximately 30 years, so I understand how to properly manage and maintain pasture and fencing etc.
Since selling my last lifestyle property 2 years ago I have been grazing my horses at one property here in Rangiora. However, this property has just been sold so I need to find a new location for them soon.

I live close by and check on my horses at least once a day and supplement feed them during winter and when required. They are very well taken care of with regular hoof care by a professional farrier, worming, dentistry, covering and general husbandry. I have never missed a payment in the 2 years that I have been grazing at this property.

I am a mature woman, very friendly, respectful and approachable. I love my horses and am looking for a nice situation in which they can spend their senior years.

If you can help or know somebody else in the area who has grazing land available, I would love to hear from you.

Thank you for your time.
