Fancy a day trip to Putaruru and Tirau?
Thursday 12 August 2021 is the day! :)
See the Blue Spring famous for it's clear water so pure it accounts for approx 60% of New Zealand's bottled water. Visit the iconic Over The Moon Cheese Factory in Putaruru for a tasting of some of their delicious products and a cuppa (our shout). Then a final stop at Tirau (‘Corrugated Capital of the World’) where you can have some lunch (your cost) or browse some of the antique, collectable and niche stores this quaint town has become famous for.

Warnings about scams
This Fraud Awareness Week, we’re reminding everyone to stay sharp and look out for the warning signs of scams to stop them before they start.
Here’s what to watch out for:
🔍 Unrealistic offers or promises of easy money that are too good to be true
🔍 Pressure tactics: Scammers may rush or threaten you to act immediately.
🔍 Requests for personal info: Be cautious if you’re asked for bank details, passwords, or sensitive information.
🔍 Unusual payment methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
🔍 Unverified contacts: Emails, calls, or messages from unknown or suspicious sources.
How to protect yourself:
✅ Stop and think before sharing personal details or making payments.
✅ Don't click on any links until you know that it is safe.
✅ Verify the source: Contact the organisation directly using official channels.
✅ If something’s not right, it's OK to hang up, walk away, ignore it and move on.
If you wish to report a scam, contact Police on 105 or report it online via 105.police.govt.nz/use-105.
