Te Kowhai Community Group Needs your Help
Location: Coombes Sand Quarry, Ngaruawahia Road
Date & Time: Sun, Jul 22 2018, 8:30AM - 12:30PM
As part of the finishing touches on the current stage of development on the Te Otamanui Walkway, the Community Group are planting more native plants and trees along the path's margins.
The Group need lots of volunteers to help plant - there are 3,500 to go in.
Last year, volunteers planted 2,500 in exactly 3 hours - so, if lots of people help, it is not a big task. And you meet like-minded, enthusiastic people - chatting and planting is mandatory.
When: Sunday 22nd July
Where: drive into the Coombes' Sand Quarry on Ngaruawahia Road (about 0.5km from the northern end of the village), and head all the way down the back to the gully. It will be signposted.
Time: 8.30 am to 12.30, irrespective of weather conditions. If there are plants left over at noon, we'll reschedule another session later in the month.
Bring: a spade, drink, chew bars etc.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
