Alberton Vintage Market Day! Sunday 13 October!

Rendell McIntosh from Alberton

Alberton's grand ballroom and verandah are the perfect settings for this mini market of vintage treasures!

There will be fine china, textiles, Crown Lynn, clothing, glassware, crystal, silver, kitchen & tableware, jewellery, accessories and retro bric-a-brac and more!
Highlights include Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint furniture painting demos by Troupes Vintage at midday & 2pm and a surprise flash mob swing dance performance by the Grammophone Gang!

Gelato, a pop-up bakery and coffee caravan will provide sustenance and old-fashioned games such as quoits and croquet will keep the kids entertained.

Enter the raffle to win a spectacular prize hamper of vintage goodies and vouchers from Junk & Disorderly, Cockspurs Vintage and Yvonne Sanders Antiques!

Learn the history of this historic homestead built in 1863 and the lives of its inhabitants the Kerr Taylors. This event is part of the Auckland Heritage Festival 2019 with the theme of 'Journeys'.

FREE ENTRY to the market.
House entry - adults $10, children free.

Please bring lots of old fashioned currency (notes & coins) as there will be no cash-out service. The market goes ahead rain or shine - most of the stalls are inside or under cover.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
