Home intruder nabbed, the low down on local elections and more
Hi readers,
Lots happening in Te Kowhai - some good and some not so good stuff. But as you'll see from our page 3 story, at least the offender was caught.
In this issue:
- Interview with Faye Dunn
_ Te Kowhai Memories: a new section by local photographer and writer Shirley Warner.
- The low down on local elections including who's standing for what role.
- Awesome photos from the latest PTA Quiz Night.
- Changes to Te Kowhai Community Group's members and ways they work.
- More quiz action at the Airfield coming up!
Finally, apologies to our advertisers (those starting with M and onward). Human error at the printers meant that 4 pages of trades and services weren't included in the magazine. Including our lovely new supporters Narellan Pools and Waikato Petfoods. Trades and Services will be back in full next time.
Please support our local businesses, without their support this magazine wouldn't exist.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
