Be Prepared... to rediscover adventure!

We are looking for suitable and interested people aged 18 years of age and older who are interested in becoming a Kea or Cub Leader at our Tawa Scout Group.
- Kea's are aged 6 & 7 years
- Cubs are aged from 8 to 10 years

Being a Leader has many benefits and provides many opportunities. Leaders come from all walks of life, from parents of Scouts, to childhood Scouts, to people with no Scouting experience at all! Get involved in your community and it looks great on your CV also.

A Leader needs to be a motivated individual with a commitment to supporting our varied, exciting and dynamic programs. Scouts NZ helps us deliver this by providing training and support in all aspects of Scouting, youth leadership, programming and safety.

Leader training is provided and normally, Leaders need to commit to Group meetings one night per week during school term, a programme meeting each term, and perhaps a few weekends a year for outdoor activities such as hiking and camping trips.

More information is available here members.scouts.org.nz...

If you are interested or have questions please contact our Group Leader, Michael Corcoran on 0272758091 - email tawa@group.scouts.nz

JOINT INSURANCE FOR 2 FLATS

Raymond from Tawa

Hi Neighbors,

Hi Neighbors,
Has anyone come across the situation below?

My son owns a flat upstairs and has insurance with BNZ.

Recently, the flat downstairs was sold and the new owners are unable to get their own insurance for some technical reason.

They have been advised that the only option is to get a joint insurance with my son.

1) Is this a workable solution?
2) My son has landlords insurance and it is a package that covers his own house and 2 motor cars. Can you mix that with an owners insurance?
3) He is most worried about the impact of future claims.

Do you know of anyone who has had this kind of insurance or a solicitor who can help him on the complications and implications of such an arrangement?

Thank you in advance.

Poll: What do you think of the Govt's plan to make cleaner cars cheaper?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

The Government has proposed a sweeping fuel-efficient vehicle policy that would make some cars up to $8000 cheaper - while others would be $3000 more expensive.

The Government has proposed a sweeping fuel-efficient vehicle policy that would make some cars up to $8000 cheaper - while others would be $3000 more expensive.

The "feebate" scheme wouldn't cost the taxpayer anything, instead using money gained by putting a fee on imported high-emissions cars in order to make imported hybrids, electric cars, and other efficient vehicles cheaper with a subsidy.
