FINAL FESTIVE FUN this weekend at the Greytown Village Festival of Christmas Christmas.
Last chance this weekend to catch the festival fun at the Festival of Christmas - it's been a massive success and has really warmed up winter.
The festival finale will be full of fun this SAT 31st. New lighting projections on the buildings, a massive WW2 spot light carving up the sky and at 6.30pm fireworks. All this, plus the final European Style Night Market, with delicious food, beverages, crafts and gifts. There will also be food trucks dotted ! Roasted chestnuts and mulled wine around town and Martin Bosley’s Oyster Saloon from 3pm (don't delay very popular) . It's been so great to see so many people enjoy the Main Street spectacle - weather forecast is terrific. LAST CHANCE FOR FESTIVAL FUN. Full details here:

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.
