Last 7 days of Kickstarter Campaign to open Chch's first Cat Cafe.

Bronwyn Reader from Cat Rescue Christchurch

Copied and pasted on behalf of Virginia from Spreydon (who is Nate's Mum).  Like she said if we all just pledged $5 dollars they would easily get to their goal and beable to start this venture.  How exciting for them and for Christchurch.


Can we do it as a community and help this get up … View more

Hi to all you wonderful Neighbourly folk

My son, Nate, and his wife, Alyssa, are working hard to raise $25000 to help start the first every cat cafe in South Island right here in Christchurch!

They only have 1 week to go to raise the last $8000 and so I'm spreading the word about their crowd-funding project where people can pledge from just $5.00. Every pledge has a corresponding reward. Pledges will only become donations when the $25000 goal is reached.
Every pledge will be greatly appreciated and help to make a wonderful new place for people to meet, have a cuppa and something delicious to eat and interact with Cat Rescue cats and kittens - you could also give a special, forever home to one of the cats or kittens that will be available for adoption.

Check out the Catnap Cafe crowdfunding project and facebook page in the links below. 

Many thanks
Victoria

Hi there neighbours!

My partner has been quoted A THOUSAND DOLLARS! To have a white jacket made to alternate with the black one as part of his dinner suit!!!!

I feel sure there is a talented gentleman' outfitter out there (or even a retired one) who could make this jacket at a more manageable cost!

Please post your contact details in reply to this post and we will be in touch!!! We are not trying to 'go cheap' and will happily pay a reasonable amount to a talented tailor! Many thanks.... Cherry Daly

Sony DT 18-55mm and DT 55-200mm camera lenses

Chris from Linwood

Hi all, for sale I have two camera lenses for APS-C sensor based Sony Alpha A-mount digital cameras. First is the Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM zoom lens - a handy zoom good for wider angle photos through to portraits. Second is the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM zoom lens - handy for portraits … View moreHi all, for sale I have two camera lenses for APS-C sensor based Sony Alpha A-mount digital cameras. First is the Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM zoom lens - a handy zoom good for wider angle photos through to portraits. Second is the Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM zoom lens - handy for portraits through to indoor sports and subjects where you need to zoom in a bit closer from a distance. Both in very good condition, AF works fine, exterior of lenses are tidy, optics have no scratches, no balsam separation, no haze/fog, no fungus, and no dust capable of affecting final images. No hood on the 18-55mm but unless you shoot direct into sunlight you'll not need it. I've shown a couple of example images I took with both lenses at the Botanic gardens not long ago, please check them out...

I previously offered both lenses together for $175, but I'll drop that to $160 - if you wish to buy just one I'll offer the 18-55mm now for $40 and the 55-200mm now for $130.

Any questions please ask.

Price: $160
