Come and celebrate the new Pohe Island Playground with us! We're holding a special event with an outdoor screening of THE JUNGLE BOOK (2016). There will be a festive atmosphere with food trucks, a big LED screen and of course, the best new playground in the District.

This FREE event held at William Fraser Memorial Reserve is suitable for the whole family. Bring along a picnic blanket or seating and find a spot to settle in. There will be some food trucks on site or feel free to bring your own picnic.

There is parking nearby on Pohe Island Road, or consider walking and cycling (the playground is on the Hātea Loop).

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

MAKING A WILL

Jill Smith from Citizens Advice Bureau Far North (CAB)

LET'S TALK ABOUT MAKING A WILL. Check out these links on who can make a will & what a will should contain - www.cab.org.nz...

If you haven't made a will, we strongly urge you to do so. When a loved one is dealing with grief, and then discovers their partner or family member hasn't made a will, it just adds to an already stressful time. Please check this link out for more information - www.cab.org.nz...

While we at CAB cannot draw up your will, we can help you think about how to go about it.

Give us a call on 09 407 9829 or 0800 367 222. Email us on farnorth@cab.org.nz. Visit us at 6 Cobham Rd., Procter Library Building, Kerikeri.
