Red Cross 21st Annual Book Fair
Hello lovely Neighbours,
The countdown begins for our much awaited 21st Annual Book fair this year on 8th, 9th and 10th September.
We will have over 60,000 books on sale ranging across all ranges from fiction, romance, war, history, drama and non-fiction! We will also have a large range of children and kids books as well as magazines, DVDs and our special Collector's Corner.
Don't miss out on our famous $1 book room where all books go for $1 each!
Best of all - all proceeds from book sales go to supporting a good cause. Every book you buy - goes towards supporting and running our community programmes like Meals on Wheels, Community Health Transport, First aid programmes in schools and youth projects all across the Waikato.
See you there!
What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.
