Next CAP Budgeting Course starts 4th September !!!
The CAP course is about how to make the most of your money. It doesn't matter whether you have a lot or a little, the CAP money course will help you to use it better. It is totally free and totally confidential. It has worked in helping thousands of people in NZ and also in Australia, England and Canada. We've had about 30 people from the Bay area so far, and the feedback has been incredibly positive, so we think we are on to a winner here!
We will talk about making a budget and then how to keep to it. The next course is at St Hilda's (311 the Parade) at 7.30pm starting on Monday 4th September. There are then 2 more sessions on 11th and 18th.
To enrol just give us a call or email on 022 1392005 or email to ibhildas@gmail.com, or drop a note into the church office, or go to the CAP website (capnz.org), click on the "Find a course near you" button (top right), select the Island Bay course, and follow the instructions. You can text or call us if you have any questions. Places are limited to 12 participants (couples count as one participant).
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?

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
