As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

3 piglets needing new homes. They are all siblings which I breed but I already have 4 adult pigs. These are pets, not for eating please. They need a friend so I would prefer they all go together or at least 2 of them go together?

These are pets, not for eating please. They need a friend so I would prefer they all go together or at least 2 of them go together?
Their mother is the dark one featured in the photos and has a quarter devon in her, giving the piglets better features (in my opinion) - longer noses, clear to view eyes and stronger, longer legs.
Young piglet like adventures - these wee groovers have a little maturity on their side so have their routines and dine solely on grass (but they love leftovers and come when you clap your hands).
They do need pig shelter and perhaps a low electric tape fence to contain them in an area.
They have nose rings so they will not dig up the paddock and the males have been neutered. They are very friendly.
Penelope is blond
Patrick is the darkest one
Franklin has a tinge of mahogany
I would like $100 each for them

Have just seen the new fuel tanks and signage for the petrol company NPD and site works on Lineside Road, where the Toyota wreckers used to be and opposite Stadium cars. Once they open it should shake up the other big named petrol station is the area.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:
- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions
With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.
The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.
Have a great long weekend!
