Pick an address to start from, and the host there will have copies of the printed map so you can take a copy to guide your onward journey.
You can also pick up a map with all the listings on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning from the Newtown Library or from local cafes.
The Garage Sale Day will take place rain or shine. If its wet, check back and look at the online map, just in case there have been any cancellations by people who can't have their sale under cover.

Autumn was in the air last night - and with our Table Topics theme, we ended up with "Four Seasons in One Night"!

During prepared speeches, we got to "See Jane Run", consider whether "All Roads Lead to Wellington and hear about Josh's life since joining Toastmasters seven years ago.

It was lovely to have some of our guests from our Open Meeting join us again, and be so keen to be become members. We pride ourselves on the friendly and welcoming environment we provide :)

Generously proportioned - let your family spread out over the three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas.

Unwind and read, entertain and enjoy being out in the garden where you are spoilt for choice with sun and shelter within two private internal courtyards. Drive on single garage in this prime Thorndon location. An easy walk to all that's important when living this close to the city.

My name is Anne Fitzpatrick. I had polio as a toddler in Methven in the early 1950's.

Last year I registered as a polio survivor with Polio NZ. We know there are about 9,000 polio survivors still alive in NZ. We want to get everyone we can registered so that we can build a case with Ministry of Health for getting some needs assessment and services for people who are now experiencing Late Effects of Polio (LEoP, also known as post polio syndrome- PPS).

So if you had polio or know someone who had polio please encourage them to register with Polio NZ. www.polio.org.nz...

I also joined Polio NZ as a member $17.50 per annum!) and have became active in the organisation.

As someone who is experiencing significant deterioration in my polio affected leg, and other new issues that are difficult to know the cause of, I have learnt an enormous amount about LEoP and the myriad of ways that it can impact on the polio survivor either at the time of the virus or much later in life.

So if you had polio, or are a family member, carer or clinician, or just care and want to know more, please consider joining Polio NZ.
