Can you help out on the Pukaha Garden Tour? Great community event!
Volunteers Wanted - Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November
Pukaha Mt Bruce are holding their annual fundraising Garden Tour on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November. They need volunteers to greet the public, provide directions and keep an eye on proceedings to keep the tour fun and successful.
Volunteers will be stationed at one of 11 gardens, mostly around Masterton with a handful in Eketahuna.
Hours are 9.30am to 4.30pm, split into morning and afternoon shifts. Volunteers are given a free ticket to the event, so you can visit the other gardens over the rest of the weekend.
If you would like to help, please contact Donna on 06 929 0960 or at admin@waivc.org.nz
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)
.
