We are one of 13 charities that have goods donated (by the community and business) to be sold with the proceeds to go to the nominated Charities.

AUCTION/FAIR CLOSES THIS THURSDAY AT 8.30 SO HOP ON LINE NOW.

$1 reserve with over 90+ items put up by our supporters.  1/2 of the items so far do not have bids on them and about 10 amazing products only have a bid of $1 SO BARGINS TO BE HAD.

Please can we have your support by login on and having a look or bidding.  Spread the word amongst your friends and family.  I personally think this site will become bigger than on line buying sites  (that started small) but will only be as successful as community support.  WILL ALL PROCEEDS (APART FROM A $1 CHARGE PER SALE TO MAINTAIN THE SITE) GOING TO CHARITY.

Not just Cat Rescue Christchurch but also the other charites ie

Age Concern
Belfast Rugby Club (Local)
Cat Rescue Christchurch (Local)
Child Rescue
Children's Autism
Cholmondelely Children's Centre (Local)
Diabetes Christchurch Society (Local)
Fill your Lunchbox (Local)
Graeme Dingle Foundation
Make a Wish Foundation
Papanui High School's PTA Fundraiser (Local)
Shavanti Bhavan Children's Project
Wildlife Hospital (Local).

I personally brought 3 items in last auction/fair for $10 and one of those items were some Zeira Shoes for $5. I supported 3 charities in my sale.  Bargin buy's and easy normal and secure payment options.  As with other online sites delivery option is postage (either at the sellers or buyers cost) but for the local items it is pick up in time for xmas.

Have a look and if you don't like anything, there is always the option to process a $5 donation to any of the charities indicated.

Enjoy and merry xmas.


Psss if you want to know about other auctions starting on this site or be into entering competitions for giveaway prizes like the WEBFAIR facebook page.  They will keep you upto date for the chance to get more bargins in the future.

HYDRANGEA PEST PROBLEMS

John from Woolston

I have now found out what this insect problem is - it is called PULVINARIA HYDRANGEAE (Cottony Hydrangea Scale) this is the juvenile stage of the scale. It can be controlled/eradicated by spraying with Yates CONFIDOR or Kiwi Care INSECT HIT. Both of these sprays are what are called 'systemic' - the spray is absorbed by the plant and the problem insect absorbs it when it sucks on the plant, thereby killing it.

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS OF USE CAREFULLY.

These products can be used on other plants for similar problems like those found on Phormium types (flax)

Full information on these products and the insect pests can be found online .
