New Trust to govern the Maidstone Park Community Sports Hub
We’re setting up a new Trust to govern the Maidstone Park Community Sports Hub, which includes the shared clubrooms and indoor training facility (currently under construction) and some other associated park functions.
It’s called the Maidstone Park Trust and we’re ready to appoint up to seven Trustees.
· Maybe you have proven governance or commercial experience.
· Or perhaps you’re keen to contribute to the sport, recreation, leisure, play scene in Upper Hutt.
The Trust requires a mix of skills from Trustees.
If you are a committed, highly skilled person with a background in one or more of the following - finance, marketing and communications, sponsorship, health and safety, human resource, or legal we’d love to hear from you.
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.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
