THOMAS AND FRIENDS.
On Sunday, 18th August from 9 am to 2 pm, in association with the RANGIORA SUNDAY MARKET, Thomas and Friends will be available for children to operate in our club rooms at 13 Blake Street, beside the Blake street car park. It is only 50 cents for 4 minutes.
We also have RANGI, our Rangiora friend of Thomas. Children can sit in Rangi and have their photo taken for a donation to support our junior section of the club.
Also, our club rooms will be open to the public to see what model railway is all about. A gold coin donation to visit our great hall will be very much appreciated.
Model railway is a hobby for all ages and gender. We have room for more juniors and seniors. Come along and check us out. We are a club that is on the right track.
We are also open on Saturday mornings from 10 am to 12 pm.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
