The Duke and Duchess will meet the public at Pukeahu between 4.45pm and 5.30pm after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and visiting the newly unveiled UK War Memorial. It will be their only public appearance in Wellington.
· Try to arrive well in advance
· If you have to drive, try not to park too close to Pukeahu – there’s not much parking in the neighbourhood. Try to take a bus or take an enjoyable walk through the city to Pukeahu.
· Let the kids, people shorter of stature, and seniors, get up the front – taller people can get a good view over their heads
· If it’s raining (or blazing sunshine), leave the umbrella at home – it’ll block views. Instead, take a hat if it’s raining.
The Ta Ara Tapere ki Pōneke - Open Streets event in the CBD on Sunday means Taranaki Street, between Dixon and Jessie Streets, will be closed between 6am and 3pm. Other streets also to be closed during this time are:

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.
As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.

We raise around $30,000 annually which is distributed to local causes first, but also regional, national and international causes through our affiliation with over 1.4 million Lion members worldwide. This market operates every Saturday Morning of the year except when Christmas day and New Years day fall on a Saturday, on our site on Main Rd near Outlet City.
This week we will also have a stall at Spring-into-Tawa - this is in addition to our normal market.
Our fruit-and-veg vendor is back with their range of fresh vegetables and fruit, much of which comes from their garden in Levin.
We will have Lions real-fruit Christmas Cakes for sale - normally $20.00 but reduced to $18.00. This is a 1.2kg un-iced cake sold in a christmas-themed box specially designed to facilitate the freshness a good (optional) Brandy deserves.
We sell free-range eggs and honey. The eggs come from a local co-operative distributor in packs of 6 (not 4), 12 (not 10), 18 and 24 and trays of 30 (not 20). The more you buy the less you pay per egg. The honey we sell comes from Helens Honey in the Wairarapa with creamed Meadow (light like clover) and Bush (stronger flavour). This week we also have Waireka (Manawatu) Honey Dew (liquid) honey available for tasting and purchase at less than the factory-shop price.
We are looking for more stall-holders. We have a solid base of regular customers but there is room to diversify. While we value casual stallholders looking to sell from their car boot, we are most interested in businesses wishing to attend each week with additional products to sell. We offer trial periods and our weekly fees are priced to attract new stallholders.
We can be contacted at tawamarket@lionsclubs.org.nz. We value customer feedback and any suggestions to make the market better.
Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the generosity of Outlet City in allowing us to use their site.
Room divider for sale - In excellent condition as never used - surplus to requirements in the end.
