Neighbourly New Year Tip #11 - Meet a new neighbour

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!

To the person who liked our solar lights....

Nicola from Wigram

It was nice that you came in the dead of night and took one last week but to come back again last night and take the other meant you obviously liked them that much you needed a matching pair. We hope that they match your letter box as much as they did ours.You could have asked us where we got them … View moreIt was nice that you came in the dead of night and took one last week but to come back again last night and take the other meant you obviously liked them that much you needed a matching pair. We hope that they match your letter box as much as they did ours.You could have asked us where we got them from (Bunnings)and we could have told you that these are no longer available. Sorry they are bit marked and the one you took last night is broken but we think The Press delivery man liked using them as target practice. We did use to have 3 but one did not survive all the hits.We are not sure how much longer the battery will last as they have been there for over 12 months. Enjoy them like we have and we hope that they look just as good at your place as they did ours.

As the school holidays come to a close, we as parents look back and think in 9 weeks time the kids will be on holidays again and what can we do to keep them engaged and away from electronic devices.

Geocaching is a high tech yreasure hunt and most like there is a geocache near you.

Best if all its free!!!!

All you need is a smart phone and boom your away. Download the geocaching app, make a free account and go out and search for your 1st cache, then another...

There are events to meet other geocachers. Geocachers enjoy looking after the environment as the environment provides the game.

Check out this youtube link maybe I'll see you out and about.
