Numbers climbing
I noticed we are getting closer to 2000 members in Havelock North and a great 3675 in nearby neighbourhoods. How about a huge push to hit 2000 in Havelock North or 6000 in total? We are at 5555 in the combined areas.
Do you think we can make it by the new year? I reckon we can if we all try hard.
Check the map (It's in Invite) in your area and talk to your neighbours, family and friends. Ask them if they are members, if not offer to email them an invite or give them your invite code to join. Send your family invites. Post it on Facebook or Twitter or add it as a signature to your everyday emails or txt messages. If you give out Christmas cards you could even write it in the cards.
Lets see if we can hit the big numbers by 2017!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
