I’ANSON RESERVE – OPEN DAY - SUNDAY 15 MARCH 10 AM
As a neighbour of I'Anson Reserve, we would like to invite you to an open day at the reserve at 10 am on Sunday 15 March 2020, meeting at the Loop Road carpark.
The event will be jointly hosted by QEII and the Friends of I’Anson Care Group and will highlight the work that QEII is doing with the Care Group to help I’Anson Reserve thrive.
It will be a great day to explore the reserve, connect with the Care Group, see the restorative planting and learn about the weeding initiatives and predator control happening in the reserve. A picnic lunch will be provided, please bring your own water bottle. Picnic blankets and chairs are welcomed. As space is limited, we ask that you RSVP as soon as possible and for pets to be left at home. As this event is outdoors, please remember to wear sturdy footwear and appropriate sun protection. RSVP will be on a first in basis.
Please RSVP by Thursday 5 March by sending an email to events@qeii.org.nz. Please let us know if you have dietary requirements when you RSVP.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
