Kia ora Wanganui, Neighbours Day Aotearoa 2022 will be encouraging people to connect through kai. This could be sharing a cuppa, fresh produce, a recipe or hosting a picnic or BBQ.

We thought we would kick things off now by encouraging people to share a favourite recipe.

This could be a whānau favourite, your aunty’s special chutney, a secret (or potentially not!) curry dish, or your most-loved cake.

We’ll then share your recipe throughout the land for people to try, share, and enjoy within their communities.

Either email your recipe to kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz or submit it here - www.neighboursday.org.nz...

Was playing up to 6 months ago until it got moved. Now seems a bit off balance and is playing quite slow, so would need someone to tinker with it. Comes with 2 full size speakers, has a built-in cabinet to hold your records (records shown not for sale). Needs 2 people to lift as quite heavy. Pick up is Marton.
Price is negotiable.

Price: $120
