Chef and hospitality staff desperately needed
Hey neighbours
Do you know about the Village Club? It’s awesome. It’s somewhere you can sit and enjoy a quiet drink or a rousing game. You can win raffles or members draws, and enjoy a good meal. Or at least you could if there was a chef.
It’s a fantastic place and it, like many in hospitality, needs some help.
Are you, or do you know of, a chef looking for a place to cook. Maybe a caterer looking for a kitchen.
Are you a senior culinary student with experience in catering for events, looking for a place to ply your trade and earn some money?
Are you a waiter in waiting or a bar tender looking for a hospo job in a lovely, friendly environment? Do you have your LCQ, or are willing to get it?
Call Raquel at the Village Club on 06 877 8722 or email your particulars to office@villageclub.co.nz
She’s a great boss. I know it. I used to work for her. And it’s a great place. I worked there too.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.

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?
