Details of the Birkenhead, Glenfield and Northcote services are below. These services are proudly funded by the Kaipatiki Local Board.
Wreaths: All local groups are welcome to lay a wreath at any of the services. Kaipātiki Local Board members are aware that unfortunately not all groups that usually lay a wreath have been contacted this year, which is an error that we are following up on. Feel free to leave a comment with your group name below and we'll make sure it is added to the list. Please be assured that if your group's name is not called, there will still be an opportunity to lay your wreath.

Kevin and the team here from BIA Kitchens and Bathrooms.
Having seen the team in action recently at Boulgaris Realty, we were so impressed we thought we would we would give them a mention as we love to share a good thing.
With the crazy world of real estate right now, our kitchen and bathroom renovations have meant that we are fully booked on all work for at least 3 months, which in our business is never a bad thing.
When designing a new kitchen we always ask "is this your forever home or an asset that you may want to sell in a few years?"
More recently it seems to be the latter and if this is you, then you will definitely want to talk to the team at Boulgaris Realty. Michael Boulgaris (Principle Officer and Sales Broker) is famous nationally for his many years of success with managing listings of New Zealand's top homes and now his team through his guidance are following in his footsteps. In particular, the rising star in the team, Kristos Tsitsiridakis.
Kristos's background in both the trades & interior enhancements industry and also extensive history in sales & marketing has given him the edge when it comes to maximising on the engagement and trust of his opulent prospective buyers and clients in the Auckland market. His portfolio of enthused clients in both the suburban and rural sectors makes him a pinnacle in performance, when it comes to getting you the very best for your future and your family.
So, if you have even though about your options around buying, selling or both, then you will want to reach out to Kristos for a consultation over a coffee and get the experts in your corner today!

But since the TBC shifted to Hurstmere Rd inTakapuna around the late 1960s, and again to its current clubhouse on The Strand around 1990, the three-storey Bayswater clubhouse has fallen out of use and become what the club’s vice commodore James Jordan described as “a bit of an eyesore”.
Despite its rugged appearance and the need for some repairs to the decking, the building is structurally sound, and the TBC has ambitious plans to restore the building to its former glory.
However, the Auckland Harbour Board and Takapuna Borough Council Empowering Act 1923 limits what the building can be used for.
It is hoped a change of wording in the Act would allow the rest of the building to be used by tenants offering other activities to help provide the club with a small income to help cover the building’s expenses and future maintenance, while improving the public‘s use of the area.

How are you commemorating Anzac Day? What stories have been passed down through your whānau?
April 25 marks the 106-year anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, one of the most costly campaigns for the Allied Forces during World War I.
Anzac dawn and commemorative services up and down the country are scheduled to get underway after widespread cancellations last year, due to the nation being under Alert Level 4 restrictions.
The NZDF have advised of a reduced presence of military personnel at Anzac services due to deployment at MIQ facilities.
You can check out where the Anzac day services are on this interactive map on the RSA website.
Feel free and share your stories below and don't forget to type NFP if you don't want your comments used your local community paper.

For a number of years, many of the local residents have been having problems with emergency services, couriers, friends and relatives not being able to find their properties due to Kauri Road being split in the middle by bush. There is no vehicle access to each half of the road from the other, so while they are technically the same road on council plans, in reality they are distinct roads. Today we have solved that issue by renaming the southern portion.
Soldiers Bay Place was the preferred name of residents, as the road is located near Soldiers Bay and that would further assist in their addresses being located.
Note: Those residents that are currently on Kauri Road but use a Balmain Road address will be able to choose whether to opt for the new Soldiers Bay Place address or keep their current Balmain Road address. Council staff will be contacting them to discuss this prior to the new street signage being installed.
Adrian Tyler and I have been working on this issue on behalf of residents for a long time now, and it is great to finally make it a reality :)

The three-course menu includes a fish dish, involving the filleting of a fish, freshly made ribbon pasta and dessert - all with a Mediterranean theme. Take a look at this week's impressive efforts enjoyed by the Advanced students. They then serve the meal for their own guest and also get to sit down and eat with them.
Here are some photos of the creative dishes prepared for the Mediterranean Luncheon.

From 5am on Tuesday April 27, motorists will exit SH18 via a new off-ramp at Paul Matthews Drive.
The new road layout will shift all eastbound traffic onto the off-ramp and through a new intersection, where motorists may turn left to go towards Rosedale, and right to either continue onto Constellation Drive or turn onto Unsworth Heights and the northern motorway (SH1) on-ramp.
The road layout change is required to create a new construction zone for new northbound connections as part of the Northern Corridor Improvements, national manager of infrastructure delivery Andrew Thackwray said.
“The nature of this work means it will cause some disruption to road users, but when finished the Northern Corridor Improvements will provide much better transport options on the North Shore for freight, cars, pedestrians and cyclists.”
He encouraged motorists to plan ahead and allow extra travel time, as major delays are expected during the morning and afternoon peaks, adding that those heading to the CBD should consider using the northwestern motorway (SH16) instead.
Traffic lights and queues at the intersection will be monitored and signal phases may be adjusted to improve traffic flow if required.
