The Wednesday Challenge is launching in Tauranga!
Hi Neighbours,
Are you sick of sitting in traffic?
An exciting community initiative is launching in your neighbourhood next week, March 2nd! THE WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE invites you to travel differently on a Wednesday, wherever you are going. Maybe you have errands to run, need to go shopping, visit friends or attend a social event. Can you take someone with you or consider ride sharing with someone else, take the bus, lime scooter, walk or bike instead of sitting in traffic by yourself. There’s rewards and prizes up for grabs for the neighbourhoods, businesses and schools who generate the biggest shift in the way they travel. Every ride counts.
The Wednesday Challenge is a great way to build stronger community connections, reduce road congestion, improve your health and wellbeing and have some fun. It’s also a great chance for each one of us to make a small change to make a big difference collectively.
Are you up for the challenge? Change the way we travel…. for good. Jump online to find out more and join the Challenge at: www.wednesdaychallenge.co.nz...
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
