You may have seen the 'Wednesday Welcome' sign outside the church on the corner of Breezes and Wainoni Roads, and wondered what it is exactly. you may have even received an invitation in your letterbox, or seen a notice at your pre-school or doctor's rooms.

You may have seen the 'Wednesday Welcome' sign outside the church on the corner of Breezes and Wainoni Roads, and wondered what it is exactly. you may have even received an invitation in your letterbox, or seen a notice at your pre-school or doctor's rooms.

So what is it, and what do people do there? The idea was to provide a space where people could meet, relax, and have a bit of food and company and something to do. It is held in the church hall from 10am to about 12.30 or 1pm each Wednesday. It is a lovely warm and friendly environment that starts with a yummy morning tea. Folk soon gather around their favourite activity, which might be just chatting, playing cards or table games like Scrabble or Rummikub, there are several types of puzzle books available and also some adult colouring books, pencils and felts. There is a large adjoining space where babies and toddlers can play with a variety of toys. All ages are welcome, from babies to 80's and more.

We have a well equipped kitchen in the hall, and around midday a good lunch is provided. We have served toasted sandwiches, soup and rolls, pizza and garlic bread, and quiche (not for real men, of course!).

We also have a 'bring and take table', if you want to give away stuff you don't need, and you are free to take away anything you could use. It has proved a popular provision and we have had to bring out a bigger table for everything that is brought in!

So, If you would like a place to meet with others and have a warm and relaxing place to be during the week, then please come along and see how you like it. You will find a warm and friendly welcome.

Hi all, relisted at a lower price I have for sale a Panasonic HC-X920M camcorder. Purchased new in 2014 it is in very good used but 100% working condition.

It is one of the *best* consumer 1080p camcorders made. It takes pristine Full HD video footage in a variety of formats, and up to 20.4MP still photos. The camera features include...

3MOS BSI sensor system (38 Megapixel total of image sensors).
5 axis Hybrid Image Stabilization.
LevelShot onscreen level horizon display.
32GB internal storage, with support for SDXC cards (32GB card included giving 64GB total storage).
WiFi (allows to stream the camera live to a TV or YouTube etc).
Mini-USB, mini-HDMI, A/V connector, hot-shoe, mic, headphone ports.
Dolby Digital 5.1 audio recording with inbuilt microphones.
Leica Dicomar f/1.5 lens, 12x optical zoom, up to 700x digital zoom.
Manual adjustment ring - can use to manually adjust zoom, focus, white balance, shutter speed, aperture - manual focus is assisted by excellent focus-peaking feature that draws an outline around the in-focus subjects.
Electronic Viewfinder & 3.5" flip out high res touchscreen.
Inbuilt flash for still photos.
1 battery included, charges on-camera via plug-in charger.
Original box with manuals, cables, accessories, lens hood, charger etc.

Plenty of people still use 1080p TV's and Blu-rays because 4K is still quite expensive and 4K material is still not as common - if you're looking for a camcorder that produces best-in-class video imagery in Full HD / 1080p format, as well as reasonable 20.4MP stills, please get in touch.

I listed this at $800 a few months ago, I'm relisting it at $650 firm.
