Tawa Lions Market this week
The Tawa Lions Saturday market is now in its 12th year. 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.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from NgΔruawΔhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
