Poll: Would you pay to use your neighbours' swimming pool?

The Team Reporter from Stuff

When a stack of rusty, dust-covered film cans was deposited with audiovisual archive, Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision by the family of freelance filmmaker Thomas H Whetton, it was a surprise to find much of the more than 80-year-old film inside those cans was in great condition. Amongst the 70+ cans the Archive’s preservation team discovered never-before-seen footage of the immediate aftermath of the 1931 Napier earthquake. This presentation takes you through the meticulous work Ngā Taonga did (and are still doing) to rescue that footage and the other taonga in the Whetton collection. The collection of Thomas Henry Whetton dating from the 1920s and 1930s is showcased in Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision’s Rust + Restoration | He Waikura He Whakauka exhibition currently on in the Te Puna Foundation Gallery at the National Library.

The Matsuri Gala is all ready to go tomorrow (11am to 2pm) at Crofton Downs Primary School. The forecast isn't looking great, however we're definitely going ahead. The weather won't beat us!

We're moving the fun around so it's indoors, or under shelter...everyone can still play heaps of games, eat delicious food, buy beautiful crafts and plants, find treasures in our book and toy rooms, enjoy local entertainment etc etc.

Sounds like a perfect outing on a (possibly) rainy day, and you don't have to worry about sunscreen 🤣
Can't wait to see you there!

Hi Neighbours!

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.

Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.

Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.

The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.
