Poll: What's the best Summer kai?

The weather is, by the estimation of most, hot.
Heat affects everything, especially what you want to eat. Want a big winter roast? Probably not.

For us I'd like to recognise the many Volunteer Interviewers who staff three branches and two satellites in Christchurch. Hours and hours of time are given to helping others and commitments to continued training and development. Thank you, thank you, thank you

Can I use an Xbox 360 as a freeview of some sort ?

Karin from Harewood

I'm technologically challenged at the best of times ! I don't have a smart tv nor do I have a freeview box. I do however have a Xbox 360. To be able to watch tv, can I use this Xbox or do I need to get a smart tv or freeview box ? Any advice will be appreciated 😊

But there were successes. In particular the Steady As You Go programme now being promoted across NZ by Age Concern. There are 30+ groups in Christchurch. U3A is an organisation with strong membership growth, that could incorporate Steady as You Go groups into their activities. There is also enormous potential for community groups to engage in health education. This is very exciting, because so much has changed and most doctors, and the great majority of the public, are completely unaware of the new science, driving a revolution of new dietary ideas, and new exercise proposals.

We’ve had hundreds of you tell us just what makes your neighbour ‘awesome’ with some amazing stories. Do you have an awesome neighbour you haven’t told us about?

It could be a neighbour who donates time to a sports team in your neighbourhood or someone who brings your bins up the driveway every week. Maybe they’re just really unique; the neighbour who drives that bright pink car or skateboards with the kids to school each day.

Tell us why your neighbour is awesome and you could win one of four $250 Prezzy® cards (plus one for your Awesome Neighbour).
