Hi all. I have a spa pool which is not working. Shell and cover are in very good condition, but the heater and stage 1 pump doesn't work. It is certainly repairable if you are or know an electrician, or electronics whizz kid. It is about 15 years old. I intend to get a new one, once more … View moreHi all. I have a spa pool which is not working. Shell and cover are in very good condition, but the heater and stage 1 pump doesn't work. It is certainly repairable if you are or know an electrician, or electronics whizz kid. It is about 15 years old. I intend to get a new one, once more arrive in the shops. It is free to anyone who is prepared to come and take away. It will need at least 4 strong blokes to lift it and carry across the garden to the driveway. Weight(empty) is approx 300 kgs. I am in Pines Beach. Ring 021 938 480 if you are interested. Happy Christmas everyone.
Hiya neighbours, we are still on the lookout for a suitable house to rent in Kaiapoi. We are both older folks, we don't smoke and have no pets. We would like a long term rental, preferably a three bedroom home, but we can probably consider a two bedroom if the garage is of the larger type so … View moreHiya neighbours, we are still on the lookout for a suitable house to rent in Kaiapoi. We are both older folks, we don't smoke and have no pets. We would like a long term rental, preferably a three bedroom home, but we can probably consider a two bedroom if the garage is of the larger type so that we can store our bikes and I can continue working at my small business. We want to stay in Kaiapoi as we both like it here. A garden would be welcome as Paul has a keen interest in that.
We also have excellent references. So if you know of anywhere that might be suitable please get in touch, we have wee bit of time yet but as we all know time is a fleeting thing, so if you know or have heard of something that may suit please get in touch. Thank you to all, Lynda and Paul.😄

I want to thank all those who came to our club rooms to see our Model Railway Christmas Grotto and the layouts in our "Great Hall". This was the first time an event like this had been staged by us and possibly in N.Z. to our knowledge. There were a lot of happy and satisfied visitors from many other places in N.Z. We had a lot of great comments / compliments about what we had done and lots of interesting conversations about early model railway. All the children seemed to enjoy THOMAS AND FRIENDS as well, This event was more successful than we had anticipated. Again a BIG THANK YOU to all who supported this activity.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

The Ashley-Rakahuri Rivercare Group (ARRG) turned to the ancient pest control method and erected Linda, the scarecrow, near the black-billed gull (tarāpuka) colony, last month.
She has proven very efficient, ARRG chairman Nick Ledgard said, and a second scarecrow has since been added at the other end of the breeding ground. Continue reading here.

This is taken from the report on the proposed Quarry at Rangiora Racecourse. Where is it to be processed then??? Will it be processed at the Tagarts site in Cones Road which is very close to all the new and old housing as well as the Rangiora Hospital in the adjacent area of River Road and Riverview Road and the housing area in the back of these streets.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me this?

The service takes around 3/4 hour and supper usually takes us through to an 8.30 finish. There will be a collection with proceeds going towards maintenance of this historic Category 2 building.
Remember to dress up warmly if it is cold on the night, and also 'go' before you come as the Church does not have a toilet.

Author Sue Allison said the relationship between dog and owner had huge mutual benefits, and assistant dogs helped their human stay connected with others.
“Someone might come up and ask about the dog, and it allows a conversation to start, which may not have otherwise happened,’’ she said.
“They are like a portal to kindness.’’
