Our Neighbourly Book Club
Kia ora neighbours
A good while ago when I was new to Christchurch I put a post up here to see if there was any interest in forming a neighbourly book group for the Merivale/St Albans area. Since that time, a small group of us have met once a month to discuss books, life in general and to enjoy one another's company over snacks and refreshments.
We now feel we'd like a few more local members - hence this post! If you'd be interested in joining our group, drop me a line. We are centered around the Merivale/St Albans area, we read across a range of genres and meet on the first Thursday of each month in the early evening.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
