The Volunteers of Hawke’s Bay Knowledge Bank would like to reassure the public that despite recent publicity, we are still fully operating as usual.
We are continuing to receive large and small collections from many different people, groups and organisations, enabling us to digitise them with upgraded and more efficient equipment. Please keep the collections coming. We are always grateful to receive them on loan, then
upon completion all items will be returned to you.

Our digital archives are large and of significant importance to the region. Our operations are fully funded and we are currently taking on additional work, such as recording as much as possible of the Cyclone Gabrielle event – photos, stories, documents etc. In a funded joint project, Radio Hawke’s Bay will also be recording verbal information. This will be a long-term undertaking as we expect a lot more information will come over the next few years.

Our volunteers continue to increase their skills, and we are in the process of expanding our valuable operations to other areas, being Central Hawke’s Bay, Taradale and Wairoa. 

Please contact us if you would like to be involved in this very worthy enterprise – we have plenty of spaces for additional volunteers. Bring your own skills or learn new skills, and join us in completing our many and varied projects. Digital, transcribing, proofreading or online
research skills will enable more projects to be undertaken. In fact, we would be happy to double our current volunteer base of around 80 people, including distance volunteers, as we have much to do. The flexibility to spend as much, or as little, time as suits you (on-site or
off-site) is a great advantage.

So, if you too, fancy a well-organised community operation that will increase your current skills and teach you new skills, whilst achieving valuable and meaningful work in the company of others or from a distance, then call Linda today, 06 833-5333.

Thank you from the Volunteers of Knowledge Bank, located in Stoneycroft, Omahu Road,
Hastings.

Say goodbye to tyre waste

Tyrewise

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.

The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.

Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.

Thursday 18th April at 11am.
Many Hawkes Bay residents will have seen notices and petitions that Fluoride Free Hawkes Bay have circulated. Hastings District Council added hydrofluorosilicic acid to our water supply without informed consent, and without warnings placed at the Flaxmere and Havelock Nth water distribution points. This toxic chemical is harmful to many but especially pregnant mothers and bottle-fed babies.
Fluoride Free New Zealand and NZDoctorsSOS have filed an injunction in the high Court contesting this action.
On Thurs residents are urged to meet at the Hastings Civic Square, and then at 1130am sharp proceed through the Hastings CBD, arriving at HDCouncil about 12noon where professional speakers, local and throughout New Zealand, will explain the problems with this recognised poison.
Please share this public notice to whanau, family and friends.
