Free heavy-duty large shag rug (approx. 180cm x 250cm)

Shaun from Churton Park

As is. This has just been in storage and needs a good clean, and there's no obvious stains or marks.

This has just been in storage and needs a good clean, and there's no obvious stains or marks. We do have small dogs but they're non-shedding, so it's mostly just in need of a clean of general dirt and to freshen it up (a rug doctor would likely make it super nice). It will need two people to take it away as it's very heavy.

I should mention that the reason it doesn't look flat in the photo is that it's currently sitting atop a wooden platform used for golfing practice :-)

Please don't agree to picking it up unless you're 100% committed to turning up and taking it away. Thank you.

Check out the concept designs for the new terminal and the bigger, hybrid-electric Interisland ferries we’re having custom-built. Work will start shortly on the terminal redevelopment, ready for the arrival of the new ferries from 2025.

The Interislander journey across Te Moana o Raukawakawa (Cook Strait) is one of the most spectacular in the world and we’re creating a customer experience to match.

Come and kōrero with the team working on this awesome project. We’d love to see you there.

Judgeford Environmental Protection Society (JEPS) is a registered non-profit society which was established by Judgeford residents to petition an extension of the use of the Willowbank Quarry for 35 years. We are fundraising to assist with costs for experts to complete environmental, noise, traffic and dust impact testing as well as planners and lawyers all of which are required to support our submission to oppose the Quarry extension.

Gather your mates, team numbers are up to you, the more people you can bring along the better your chances of taking out first place.

"The clouds have hung so low and angry, that it has looked like grubby twilight all day. Still, everyone just goes about their business despite the shortness of the day and the bleak lighting. The weather didn't phase the fantail/pīwakawaka (Rhipidura fuliginosa), plenty of moths, midges, and spiders still to grab and other beings to investigate."
