The competition was stiff and as usual, went along with a lot of bantering and laughs. Some of our staff as well as our Manager, Bruce Cullington joined with great enthusiasm much to the delight of the Residents. A marvellous afternoon, to be repeated next year for sure.

Anyone can be affected by snoring, at any time in their lives. Patney’s founder Frances Anderson has experienced first-hand the impact snoring can have on your energy levels, confidence and happiness.
Frances spent years searching for an effective way to control her snoring, to no avail. Fed up and exhausted, Frances set out on a journey to create her own solution. The Patney sleep positioner is the result of an intensive research, development and testing process.
Frances sought independent validation of the Patney sleep positioner through the University of Otago. The independent study proved the Patney sleep positioner is an effective way to control snoring.
No one should have to put up with snoring. Take a look at Patney and experience the benefits a good night’s sleep can bring. We offer a 30-day money back guarantee, so on World Sleep Day you can celebrate having had a great night's sleep!

Introducing family cloth, a stack of soft fabric wipes that you keep beside the toilet.
Instead of one-time-only toilet paper that you use and flush away, pick up a family cloth and simply wipe, throw in the communal washing basket, rinse, and repeat.
So, would you give family cloth a go?
