Tauwhare Hall needs you!
Tauwhare Hall Committee Annual General Meeting
is on Wednesday 12 September 2018 at 7.30pm
This past year, the Committee has focused on maintenance and improvement projects around the outside of the Hall. The car park resealing is finally underway, with temporary repairs complete and a resealing in the spring, when the weather should be better for it. A new front fence is also being built soon.
The current Committee is Craig Sharman, Pippa Berry-Cope, Adelle Cooke, Lockie Verner, Janine Broekhuizen, Heather Mollekin, and David Mollekin.
We have three Committee members who have now left the district, and two others who are definitely standing down at this year’s AGM (due to other community commitments). We need new committee members to keep a functioning committee going. We need you!
The amount of time required from Committee members is usually to attend 4 meetings a year, with each meeting taking around 1 ½ hours. This is to discuss and organise various tasks that keep the Hall running, such as taking bookings and arranging maintenance work to be carried out. The Hall Committee would welcome people who like to organise social events for the community too.
Being on the Hall Committee is a great way to meet local people and make a contribution to the community, through the running of our much used and enjoyed Hall.
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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
