Bookathon to boost reading launched next month

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Blind Low Vision NZ is launching a bookathon to inspire children to get reading.

The Great Kiwi Bookathon is being rolled out in June to promote reading and to raise funds for people suffering from vision loss.

Registrations are now open for parents to sign up their children- and themselves- to read as many books as they can.

Participants are encouraged to seek sponsorship to raise funds for Blind Low Vision NZ.

Go to bookathon.co.nz to register online.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
