In April of this year, Kanoa Lloyd and the Graeme Dingle Foundation will be taking on a challenge and trekking through Vietnam to raise funds for the school based programmes the Foundation runs.
They're searching for a team to join them on this trip of a lifetime that will do so much to help our tamariki. If an 11 day trip through the exquisite Vietnamese country side sounds appealing to you - why not join Trek to Transform Young Lives and help kiwi kids along the way.

The perception of lawn bowls being a sport for old people is a fallacy. More young people are playing the sport at all levels than ever before. Why? Well lawn bowls is a very social sport, easy to learn, low cost, inclusive and above all great fun.

Why? Well lawn bowls is a very social sport, easy to learn, low cost, inclusive and above all great fun.
Bowls is truly a sport that anyone can play on equal terms regardless of age, gender or physical ability and with clubs throughout Auckland running social bowling events through summer there is no excuse for you not to get out into summer and have a go!

Seeing a set of golf clubs in a church garage sale was stimulus for Renee to fulfill something in her bucket list. She often thought about playing golf but had not acted on her wish , until she saw these golf clubs and saw that Redwood Park Golf Club were offering lessons.
Renee joined a group of fellow golf learners for coaching at Redwood Park, and loved the approach where they started at the end with putting and finished at the start of the game, by learning how to use a driver.
“Matt, our golf coach, used very simple, easy to understand instructions and always acknowledged our progress ,” said Renee.
“After we finished our six week course, our group kept in touch and we played together each Sunday afternoon to support each other. The Club was marvellous, by providing a group tee off time on Sunday afternoon and they also provided a two month complimentary membership that allowed me to practice on the course”.
“Club members also invited me to join them, and asked what I would like to practice. This has helped me to build my confidence and meet other players. Playing golf has been great in improving my fitness. “says Renee.
If you have a similar wish like Renee, coaching clinics for adult learners begin at 9am on Sunday 10 February. The cost of $120 provides six, 1 hour lessons, taken by a PGA golf coach. It is followed by two months of membership at Redwood Park so you may build your confidence.
Redwood Park also has a junior programme taken by PGA golf coaches, with the term programme starting at 10am on Sunday 10th February. The cost is $120 per term.
Redwood Park Golf Club is at 13 Knox Rd, Swanson. To register your interest or to find out more information, please contact Redwood Park Golf Club , ph 09 8338253; manager@redwoodparkgolf.co.nz

I have just had a reply from Trademe on this matter.
In several paragraphs what they said in essence was; "Sort it out yourselves, we don't like to get involved. Go to Citizen's Advice Bureau to find out your rights"
I am very disappointed with this response. They are very happy to take their rather exorbitant selling fee out, but obviously not so keen to help when necessary. Possibly this is because I read in the paper that some company has made an offer for Trademe.
Thanks very much for all your suggestions and comments.

I just want your opinion on this matter. Not necessarily going to reply, but will read with interest.
On 18th December 2018, a buyer from Trademe came around to buy a suitcase from me. He arrived before pressing "BUY".
I explained that legally he had to "buy" before he could take it away. That happened, and he went away happily.
A couple of days or thereabouts, he texted me saying that the corner of the case had very slight damage which was on my photos and neither of us had picked it up on inspection
I very stupidly offered him a refund if he brought the case back, meaning bring it back straight away.
I must add, this was not sold as a new case.
FIVE weeks later he has arrived back from overseas and had five weeks use from the case, and now is asking for a full refund.
I am feeling rather upset over this. He is a businessman and probably used to wheeling and dealing.
Opinions please!
