Yummy home made jam fundraiser for sports. $7 or $10 per jar
Hi neighbours! Do you want some jam? Home made yummy jam. Free delivery in the neighbourhood.
We are doing some fundraising for our son Joel's swimming again to help him to compete overseas. Joel has just turned 17, is a multiple national swimming champion for many years. He was his school's Sportsman of the Year at age 13. He went to Aussie a couple of months ago and beat all the Aussies he competed against, in his top 200m butterfly event, and won national titles at his last national competition in New Zealand, so we thought we`d put in some effort and make and sell some jam to help him do it again.
Blackberry Jam. It comes in two sizes with funky lids. Sizes are 350g - $7.00, ( or three for $20) the 500g jar is $10.00. All to go to support Joel's swimming endeavours and its free delivery in the local neighbourhood.
See images below.
To support Joel ( and we`d really like you to, cos we can't eat all the jam), you can contact Dave on 0274 717466 anytime and we can supply you and your family/friends and what size/s you'd like.
There will be other flavours planned, but blackberry is a start. :-) :-)
You can see Joel's two most recent national title wins here 1:09.18-1:11.50 (butterfly lane 5 ) and 1:52.50-1:53.33 (backstroke lane 1) by accessing the YouTube link at https //www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3HVqF0uSvE
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
