We'd love to offer pony rides but our previous owner and pony is not available.
Is there anyone local who may have some "spare time" and a quiet gentle pony suitable for children to ride - any time that suits between 10-1 would be wonderful.
For more information please phone 0274996096.
Thanks so much - Judy Wood for the Te Horo Hall committee.

On Monday, 21 November, the Supreme Court ruled that preventing 16 and 17-year-olds from voting is 'unjustified age discrimination'.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.
“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

⚠️ What should you do?
- be careful when walking and driving along roads directly exposed to the sea during this time
- live in an exposed coastal area? Park your vehicles away from the seaward side of the road and be prepared for surface flooding, debris impact in wave runup and deposition of driftwood, seaweed, sand and gravel
- check the forecast before heading out on a boat, and if in doubt, do not go.

This is traditionally already a busy time of the year for the team, and our ability to maintain prompt turnaround periods on building inspection requests has been affected, resulting in delays of possibly up to a week. These delays are also having a knock-on effect on other services such as pool inspections, which are typically booked a month in advance.
Please be patient while we deal with these capacity issues; if you have an inspection booked, please avoid cancelling on the day. Advance notice means we can reorganise and prioritise our workload.
We’re honouring building inspections that are already booked, and doing our best to accommodate everyone where we can, including responding to risk-based inspections as a priority.
