Thank you for using Neighbourly
Tali Eyal has created a new line of clothes for flat- chested women after discovering there was nothing out there for women in her position.
She would like to thank everyone for the support.

Nominate them to be our Neighbourhood Champion and they can go in the running to win an Orania Natural Skincare package as a lovely 'Thank you!'
This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

* Use good images to ensure your items really stand out
* Share an description of each item you are selling including details of its condition
* Add a price for your listing

* Once an item has sold, remember to mark it as SOLD (just click on the three little dots under your post)
* Consider listing an unsold item in the Free Stuff category if you're keen to see it moved along.

Yacht races get underwaty at 1pm with the Jane Gifford as flagship, and the course—twice around Saddle Island and back up the harbour to Scotts Landing—provides an unparalleled spectacle, particularly for those who take the picnic lunch to Tungutu Point for the most panoramic vantage from which to appreciate the more than a hundred classic wooden boats competing.
On shore there'll be sand sculpting, egg and spoon, sack and three legged racing, with a water run, egg throwing and tug of war to follow.
Prize giving kicks off at 4pm at Scotts landing and the the after match function sees the 18-piece West City Jazz Orchestra 1940s swing-era music get everyone dancing.

Recently there's been a lot of media and Neighbourly discussion around begging. How do you feel about people begging in your community? Do you reach into your pockets? Maybe you support organisations working with those who need a helping hand. Share your position below.
I didn't realize the wind was strong today.
But the cracking of the branch going and then loud bang as it came down soon let us know in Stanmore Bay.
No damage thankfully, apart from the poor tree. Hope no one else saw any damage.
