Easter Fair update
Foxton Beach Community Patrol at Sunday’s Easter Fair.
Just as well we have Hi Viz wet weather jackets as part of our uniform kit!
We kept it Hi Visibility but non-confrontational (as per our patrolling rules 😎), flew the colours, raised awareness and collected some money to go towards First Aid Training for a few of our volunteer patrollers.
Unfortunately we didn’t win any of the Fire Service raffles taking place opposite us 😢
THANK YOU! to participating Patrollers, to the Easter Fair Organising Committee and to those who stopped to chat and drop a few dollars into our collection buckets.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.

80 years ago:
About 80 years ago I was taking photographs with a Kodak Box Camera including the 2 uploaded photos of the house where we were living in Epson, Auckland. The ground floor walls were built with stones and the washhouse had no windows so it was perfect for developing film and printing photos. And 80 years later I still enjoy taking photos, even without the Box Camera😁. The house was destroyed to be replaced by apartments. It feels like a part of me has been stolen and destroyed.😦😦
