Berhampore Fruit and Vege Co-op - three pick up points every Tuesday.

Administration Team from Island Bay Presbyterian Church

The fresh food co-op in Berhampore is a response to the fact that many people, affording transport to a market, on top of the cost of produce, is challenging.

$12/week for a fresh pack of fruit and veges! Please register, then order and pre-pay online by 5pm the Thursday prior. Contact Bruce Hamill on 027 275 6041.

There are three pick-up points each Tuesday: Granville Flats (559 Adelaide Rd) from 11.30 -1pm; Centennial Flats Community Centre (493 Adelaide Rd) 1.30-3pm; and Rintoul St Flats Community Room (263 Rintoul St) 4-6pm.

The Berhampore co-op is a branch of the Eastern Suburbs Fruit and Vege Co-op based in St Aidan’s Anglican Church, which is, in turn, a hub for a joint venture between Wesley Community Action, Regional Public Health and M.E. Transport Ltd.

Every so often the Co-op offers regular and free 8-week cooking courses (“Kai Confidence”). It is very popular! It aims to help those lacking confidence in cooking to build creativity in using the weekly order. Food is provided and everyone eats together afterwards.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
