Looking for volunteers
Hi. We at Hawke's Bay Knowledge Bank are looking for more volunteers, family histories, very old Hawke's Bay photos and so on. Oh - also any funding for the KB would be appreciated greatly. We scan and preserve HB history on line (see knowledgebank.org.nz to see what we do). There's lots of options for volunteers including doing work at home - work at Stoneycroft House the home of KB - scanning, typing, assessing, etc etc.We welcome visitors to Stoneycroft to see the place working - we're friendly and love the work - hours are your own to suit - 1 or more a week or a month - your choice - and you'll be helping preserve the history and the memories of the people of Hawke's Bay for the future. If you're interested please look up the website and contact us. Thanks
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?
