Cat Rescue is on fundraising website called Webfair

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

We are one of 13 charities that have goods donated (by the community and business) to be sold with the proceeds to go to the nominated Charities.

AUCTION/FAIR CLOSES THIS THURSDAY AT 8.30 SO HOP ON LINE NOW.

$1 reserve with over 90+ items put up by our supporters.  1/2 of the items so far do not have bids on them and about 10 amazing products only have a bid of $1 SO BARGINS TO BE HAD.

Please can we have your support by login on and having a look or bidding.  Spread the word amongst your friends and family.  I personally think this site will become bigger than on line buying sites  (that started small) but will only be as successful as community support.  WILL ALL PROCEEDS (APART FROM A $1 CHARGE PER SALE TO MAINTAIN THE SITE) GOING TO CHARITY.

Not just Cat Rescue Christchurch but also the other charites ie

Age Concern
Belfast Rugby Club (Local)
Cat Rescue Christchurch (Local)
Child Rescue
Children's Autism
Cholmondelely Children's Centre (Local)
Diabetes Christchurch Society (Local)
Fill your Lunchbox (Local)
Graeme Dingle Foundation
Make a Wish Foundation
Papanui High School's PTA Fundraiser (Local)
Shavanti Bhavan Children's Project
Wildlife Hospital (Local).

I personally brought 3 items in last auction/fair for $10 and one of those items were some Zeira Shoes for $5. I supported 3 charities in my sale.  Bargin buy's and easy normal and secure payment options.  As with other online sites delivery option is postage (either at the sellers or buyers cost) but for the local items it is pick up in time for xmas.

Have a look and if you don't like anything, there is always the option to process a $5 donation to any of the charities indicated.

Enjoy and merry xmas.


Psss if you want to know about other auctions starting on this site or be into entering competitions for giveaway prizes like the WEBFAIR facebook page.  They will keep you upto date for the chance to get more bargins in the future.

Paddy Gower seeks ‘bloody great Cantab’

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Kiwi journalist drilling deep into the country’s biggest issues is on a mission to find the local greats.

Paddy Gower is looking for the Good Kiwi in every region to feature in his show, The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour.

To nominate a Good Kiwi, email reporters@press.co.nz with the name and a description of why your nominee should win. You an also share the local issues you think Paddy needs to tackle in the comments below.

It could be the woman whose knitting circle has made 3800 items for victims of domestic violence, the guy running the length of Aotearoa for mental health, or the woman with terminal cancer who spends her time campaigning to raise awareness and save lives.

“Basically I am looking for ... a bloody great Cantab who just gets on and gets things done. The criteria is somebody who has a positive attitude and makes the community a better place," Gower said.

“I will give this person the 'Big Ups' they deserve, and the community can celebrate them with me.”

A Good Kiwi will feature in each of Gower’s live shows in 14 centres through November and December. He will name the Cantabrian Good Kiwi at his Christchurch show on the evening of Friday, November 22, at St Margaret’s College.


The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour is a sort of book tour, sort of stand-up comedy, some journalistic yarns and memoir, and some motivational speaking - with a fair bit of local in each show.

Gower also wants to know about topics of interest in the region.

“I’m ... going to be taking on a big issue facing Canterbury and offering up solutions.”

A stinky suburb, a neighbourhood needing a round-about or a cathedral in disrepair - “I will make your views count”, he said.

“I'm touring the nation to spread positivity, optimism and good vibes.”
