First Picture in! Guinness World Book of Records for "Most Steampunks" achieved! (unofficially)

Kim from Thames

This is 252 Steampunks in one place, breaking the Guinness World Record for "Most Steampunks" at Thames on Historic Kopu Bridge!

(plus stewards/volunteers who are not in costume)

Steampunk The Thames say "Well it looks like we did it! Unofficial tally at 252. (Confirmation by Guinness may take a while as we have to collate and present all our evidence for sign off)

A huge thank you to all who helped make this happen You're awesome!"

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Purple Poppy Day Saturday 21st February

Carolyn from Thames

Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga is delighted to be working with Thames RSA to hold our town’s first Purple Poppy Day on 21st February. Purple Poppy day is held throughout the Commonwealth to honour the animals that served and died during WWI and WWII and continue to serve in current conflicts.
Our inaugural Purple Poppy Day features creatures from glowworms and pigeons to camels and elephants.
The competition on the day, PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI is a fun way to get involved, with lots of neat prizes.

PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI will be held weather permitting. All other activities will take place inside the museum is the weather isn’t so good.
