Morrinsville then became a very busy station, servicing towns across the region.
Come and see the newly opened exhibition "Keeping the Trains on the Track" which features machinery and a timeline of the opening and closing of tracks to and from Morrinsville.
A further interest to the women is a story that uses mannequins to show costumes of the 1930s. The story is of two women residents of Morrinsville in the 30s who plan to go by train to Auckland to a dance recital in St Sepulchre's Hall in Symonds Street.
The Exhibition is open until March 2017. Bring your visitors for an informative and interesting visit.

The Waikato Airsoft Club are always looking for new places to play. Do you know anyone with a bit land somewhere in the Waikato? An unused industrial site, the back of a farm, a gully with some trees, an old sand pit or quarry, an abandoned building? You get the idea. We don't need much … View moreThe Waikato Airsoft Club are always looking for new places to play. Do you know anyone with a bit land somewhere in the Waikato? An unused industrial site, the back of a farm, a gully with some trees, an old sand pit or quarry, an abandoned building? You get the idea. We don't need much space. Please let me know if you can think of anywhere that might suit or share this to someone who might. Always happy to have new members along too. Where else can you take out the weeks frustrations by shooting your mates!

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.

Authorities have launched a campaign to educate the public about the harm giving money to beggars can do.
The focus instead is on other ways to get them help.
What do you think of the campaign?

Went to the base to get one today and ended up rushing home as my phone got an alert that my house alarm was going off (false alert thankfully) but now I've lost all motivation to deal with parking etc again. Anyone got one they no longer need and want to sell it?
