Backgammon
Just a repeat that we would like more players. Would you like to play Backgammon? We have a smal group playing every Wednesday and are looking for more people to join. Backgammon is around 500 years old. It is a board game played with dice and counters. It is easy to learn and fun to play. We play from Wednesdays 12:30 to 2:30 pm and have a lot of fun. If you have never played Backgammon, we will teach you and you don't need a board. If interested or would like to know more please talk to Linda, Phone 476-8311 or Cell Phone 021-216-3050.
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)
.
