Brooklyn Community Market
Come along to the Brooklyn Community Market this Saturday 7 December from 12 to 4pm at the Community Centre on Harrison Street. Catch up with neighbours and friends while browsing through a variety of stalls with great ideas for Christmas. Stalls include jewellery, soy candles, arts & crafts, pottery, soaps, preserves & chutneys, vegetables, children's clothes and lots more. Buy a ticket in our Christmas Raffle with great prizes to be won. 1st prize valued at over $650. The draw happens at 3pm. There will be plenty to eat with the Hungry Giraffe food truck on site, the Brooklyn Scout Group BBQ on the deck and toasted sandwiches from the kitchen. Juice on Loose will be outside serving up coffee, juices and smoothies. For the children, a visit from Santa, face painting and a giant bouncy castle (weather permitting), plus we have live music throughout the afternoon including Christmas favourites from the Dark Chocolate Jazz Trio. Everybody welcome this Saturday!

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
