Hi Booklovers!

We have a new venue – Maramarua on SH 2. This time of the year we would usually be in Waikino but their hall is not available because of renovations so I've managed to find a new venue at Maramarua. We opened yesterday, Saturday 5th and will be here until Sunday 13th.

The hall at Maramarua is on a little hill in front of the fire station. It is on the south side of SH2. If you are coming up SH27, or from Paeroa or Tauranga, as you pass the general store you can see it in the distance on top of the hill so slow down to catch the entrance.

I can't put my little truck (Little Toot) at the entrance as this will hinder fire station personnel arriving on a callout so it will be parked across the road – the best we can do.

Our usual opening hours are 9am – 6pm.

The hall hire was only agreed last weekend, too late to advertise in the local papers, but it will be in this week so that should bring a few more people out. The weather has been so hot this week, regularly 30 degrees, so packing and moving into the hall (using the large and small trucks) has been extremely tiring. However we are now in and all set up so please come and check out our books.

There are several cafes here at Maramarua, including the pub which serves meals. We will probably try out the pub for dinner tonight. It's too hot to cook after a long day looking after books – well that's my excuse if I needed one!!

My friend Jennifer is up here with me for this event and maybe for Eureka next month.

You may notice changes in the way some books are priced. I have been buying in some books for those very popular authors who have their own boxes. Unfortunately this means there are more yellow stickers in these boxes than previously.

My friend Rod's garden art should arrive later today. He has his usual wind wands but has introduced a new range of crystal wands which reflect the sun and will look lovely in the garden.

Thanks to all of you who are doing the Covid-19 things endeavouring to keep us all safe. We have the usual Covid sign in forms and the user app pictures on a table inside the hall.

In my next newsletter I will provide the Eureka book fair dates for 2022 for you to diarise.

Best wishes
Trudi

Well, we survived Covid in 2020 and Delta in 2021 but unfortunately we have make the call that Omicrom has beaten us for 2022 and we have regretfully decided to cancel our golf tournament.
During the 15 successful years we have been operating we have raised almost $250,000 for charities in our community.
We do hope to be back bigger and brighter next year.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us in the past. It is always great fun and without the players, sponsors and those who donate prizes we would not have been so successful over the past years.

A Life Beyond Food and Addiction
I don’t remember being obsessed with food when I was very young, the way I was to become. I remember starting to eat at any opportunity I could get. I would arrive home early at meal times to check what was in the pans. Saturday afternoons were spent baking, while my friends were out shopping. I went on to develop a love for raw cake batter and butter icing and I would make it up when I was desperate for food. Once I started getting money, I would buy sweets and secretly eat them. Meal times were awful, I never felt fulfilled.
