The new site is adjacent to the Porirua Stream just North of the vehicle access bridge across the stream.
In recognition of the move, Tawa Lions have waived the normal fee of $10 for a stall or boot sale for the first three weeks - i.e. through to Saturday 12 June. So now is the time for new vendors, as well as those who have been before, to come along and sell their goods. Prospective vendors should contact Tawa Lions by email at "tawamarket@lionsclubs.org.nz" or phone Alastair on 232 7936, or Murray on 232 5947.
The Saturday market has now been operating on the Outlet City property for the past 15 years and Tawa Lions are most grateful to Outlet City management for allowing this. All funds raised from the market are directed back into the community for various projects such as supporting local youth and the Tawa Lions annual Christmas parade.
The market offers fresh fruit and vegetables from a Kapiti Coast market gardener and the Tawa Lions stall offers fresh free-range eggs, honey, home-made jam and second-hand books. The Lions stall is also a collection point for aluminium wine tops and unwanted spectacles for recycling, and used small batteries for disposal. Other vendors from time to time include a local nurseryman selling plants and shrubs, a bakery selling buns and rolls of various flavored spices and an Asian food vendor.
So, come over and have a browse around next time you call in to Outlet City between 9 am and 2 pm on a Saturday.

Hi all, WCC is aware there is an issue that some northern suburbs are not receiving their rate letter a month before the due date. If you don't have automatic payment setup and dependent on the invoices, please call WCC and check what your payment should be before 10% penalties kick in.
There seems to be confusing information about the dates for this group.
We have been running circles with so many 0800 numbers, calls to the GP and the MP, and CCDHB.
Some of our friends have gone to Lower Hutt without any appointment and have even got the second jab.

Is there any one from the Media here who can help us?

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

The theme, Out of Place, was chosen by festival organisers to give the capital’s eateries inspiration for the month-long event which will take place in August. The organisers hope the restaurants will transport their guests to far-flung destinations with their international offerings.
Diners will also be able to go back in time. Daisy’s is set to celebrate Aunt Daisy, the well-known radio personalty who has been called New Zealand’s first foodie. Rita’s has been inspired by the dinners of early Pākehā settlers with their event Colonial Goose.
Katherine Mansfield’s childhood home will host guests, as will the Interislander, with restaurant Shepherd hosting a multi-course meal onboard the Kaitaki to recreate the golden age of travel.
Pink, red, yellow, climbing, rambling, oh so beautiful they are. New Zealand's rose breeders and specialist nurseries have such a treat for you. Pictured here is 'My Sweetheart' from Matthews Nurseries, and there's lots more. Sit back and enjoy.
Have you ever wondered what the difference between a condenser dryer and heat pump dryer is?
Heat pump dryers have newer technology which makes them the most energy efficient dryer, saving three times the amount of power, plus it is gentler on your clothes 👚.

Heat pump dryers have newer technology which makes them the most energy efficient dryer, saving three times the amount of power, plus it is gentler on your clothes 👚.
Neither require external ducting as the water is held in a canister within the machine. Some models also have a self-draining option.
Dear neighbours,
It's taken seven years, but it was worth the wait. Have you tried them?

Rehearsals have started and now our Becky (main female character) and our Minister (small cameo role) have had to pull out, so we are looking once more for a young woman/teenager to play a 14-year-old girl and an adult man to play a church minister in this lively (and very famous) coming-of-age story set in the 1840s.
Your commitment would be to rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons (the Minister won't be required for all of them) and Thursday to Sunday performances on July 22 to 31.
Interested? Ring director Lynn Coory 027 600 5366 today.

"I am super sweet and thanks to my amazing foster family, I am used to dogs, cats and children.
I will need to be adopted to a home with an existing female rabbit, so if you have a lonely rabbit, maybe we could be friends. I will need a weather-proof hutch, with a run for day time. At night, I will need a space inside your home. it can be a room, or a hutch, but some where I can spend time with the family.
If this sounds like your set up, please be in touch with my care givers to make an appointment to meet me."

I realise it is not Wednesday but on such a special day, I thought I would ask Neighbourly users for their memories.
