Taihape Gumboot Day Family Festival
Palmerston North Airport supports a number of grassroots events including the Taihape Gumboot Day Family Festival on Saturday, March 23.
Fly Palmy staff will be there, boots and all, running the ‘Have a go’ gumboot throwing competition and giving away prizes to the winners. With regular airport users coming from Taihape and surrounding areas, Fly Palmy is pleased to be able to support this event which is the biggest annual event in Taihape.
This year will be extra special with the inclusion of the international gumboot throwing competition.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
