From Go to Wow! An evening of family history (Wednesday)
Something for all levels of experience.
An insight into researching your family history with Richard Cato and others from the NZ Society of Genealogists (Te Awamutu Branch).
No matter what your level, or where you are at with your research, there will be something for everyone, including starting out, best resources, DNA as a research tool, writing up your research to create a story and publishing (whether that is a family story or as a family reference)
The evening will be supported with a week long display in the library from 1-7 August.
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.

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
