Hi neighbours,

Electric scooters have been zooming about your city for a couple of weeks now, and we want to know your thoughts on them!

Lime e-scooters have made the news recently after Christchurch schools banned them from school grounds. There have been instances where the scooters have been disrespected and dumped in the ocean, and have even had fireworks attached to them.

However some people are in support of the scooters, and have even found a way to make extra pocket money from them.

So what are your thoughts on the use of electric scooters in the Garden City? Are they a nuisance or a whole lot of fun? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below.

Hi everyone

I know it seams like rugby has just finished but for the open grades it was actually 3 - 4 months ago!

Training for 2019 will begin in earnest in January for next season.

My reason for posting is we are looking for local business sponsorship of the Colt's Reserves for 2019.

If you are a local business keen on supporting young men aged mostly 19 by way of sponsorship I'd love to hear from you. It does not have to be a huge amount either however more sponsorship would get your business printed on training jackets, etc etc. You will also get advertising, regardless of the amount, through various club publications, at the clubrooms and acknowledged at our annual Sponsors Evening. I'll even shout you a beer myself!!

If you are keen or have any other questions, I'd love to hear from you.

Thank you.
