Irish Interest Group - Lower North Island meeting
Just a wee reminder of the meeting in Johnsonville this Saturday 13 May starting at 10.00 a.m with the AGM. If you are interested in joining the committee there will be nomination forms available. We are looking for a secretary and of course committee members. The AGM will be followed with a talk from Lisa Duggan about DNA testing - what different tests are available, how to understand your results, and what to do with them.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
