Karori Lions Karnival -- SAVED BY THE BELL!!!!!
You will all appreciate just how relieved we were to hear Prime Minister Jacinda announce yesterday that, apart from Auckland, the country would be able to revert to Covid-19 Alert Level 1 - just in time for us to be able to avoid cancelling our 50th annual Karori Lions Karnival on Ben Burn Park this coming Sunday!
So, it is all GO! No rain forecast - a little cloud in the morning and fine in the afternoon. We'll have over 60 stalls again, including our own Karori Lions Book Tent, our own renowned hot dog stall and white elephant stall, along with games and other activities for the kids, a great line-up of entertainers on the stage, and other tempting food stalls. Something for everybody!

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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
