Whether you're hitting the street to trick or treat, or staying inside with the the candy bowl by your side - here's some Neighbourly Halloween tips to ensure that this Tuesday is a fun and safe experience for you and your neighbours!

1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!

2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away

3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!

Stay safe and have fun!

Hi there,

Our elderly parents (96 and 87) whom we love dearly would like to move from their home in Palmerston North asap and have full time care in the Hastings area to be closer to us.

This is new ground for us and could I get some advice......

1. Any rest home recommendations?
2. How do we get the ball rolling, is there a process to follow?
3. Is it possible for them to share a room?

Thanks so much for your advice!

Yay, I made it!

Now that term 4 is under way and the sun is out, it's time to get those hats out and on heads. Please make sure your children bring their hats to school and make every effort to get them to wear them.

My son wouldn't wear his, as he was afraid other kids would think he looked dumb, even though it is the school rules and he always wears a hat outside school. But, he knows if he doesn't he wouldn't be allowed to play out in the sun with his friends.

I know a lot of kids leave their hats at school over night, but the afternoon when they are walking home is the hottest and most burnable time of day, so it may pay to get them to wear them home and get into the habit of bringing them back each day.

Also, let your kids point out to the teachers and parents that they need to wear hats as well. As adults, we need to not only set the example, we should set the trends!

If you don't have a school hat for your kids, they are available at the Warehouse, school uniform shop or most bargain shops. As long as it is a hat and it is red, it's okay. The bigger the better, though, for sun protection.

Sun screen is also available at the school if you don't have it at home or for a reapplication. It is located in a few areas, including right outside the office.

Have a great term and keep safe.

Inflation 😔

Alethea from Mahora

The smell of that first kick off, the sound of the engines roaring and the crowd watching in anticipation as the first race begins. Eyes fixated on the race, the oohhs and aahhs when you see/hear the first crunch of the night, and the cheering as the driver gets out and is fine.

The smell of that first kick off, the sound of the engines roaring and the crowd watching in anticipation as the first race begins. Eyes fixated on the race, the oohhs and aahhs when you see/hear the first crunch of the night, and the cheering as the driver gets out and is fine.
So the time has come. No longer an inexpensive and great way to pass a spring/summer/autumn night. Adored by many children and inspiring drivers.
The price has gone up, out of reach of many, especially the young, keeping them out of trouble and off the streets for a night of fun filled adrenaline.
We will miss you Meeanee Speedway.
We just cannot afford to visit you like we did the past few years.
