GARDEN MINI-MARKET at Te Puna Quarry Park, this Sunday, 8 Nov
Our Garden Mini-Market is on, this Sunday, 8 November, 10am - 2pm, in Te Puna Quarry Park. This is just 7 km out of Bethlehem, off SH2.
We are going ahead, rain or shine. You may need your gumboots or sturdy shoes and rain jacket. Most of all, please bring CASH, as we have NO EFTPOS on site. Also bring boxes or bags for your purchases.
On offer are a variety of plants, some pre-loved garden tools, some garden ornaments, natural cosmetics, honey & bee wax, and more, and you can enjoy our Devonshire tea and live music.
Note that this mini-market is in lieu of the large Quarry Fest that was organized by Lions in November of previous years, but was cancelled due to uncertainty around covid .
Hope to see you there.

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.
