Welcome 2017
Wish you a successful 2017, in which your dreams come true.
A few weeks back, I was accepted as a Trustee on the board of Riccarton House & Bush Trust. It is indeed an honour to be part of such a historic institution whose history is as old as our city's.
What is more, I was lucky that the last board meeting of the Trust for 2016 was held at Homebush Stables, which is past Darfield on the way to Mt. Hutt. What a place....soaked in history!

I would highly recommend anyone to visit this fascinating place - details are on their website.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
