New Craft Group
Calling all knitters, crocheters, beaders, cross-stitchers, embroiders and others who have a portable craft. I am starting a group of those who have an enthusiasm for making their own vintage inspired garments and items, especially if you make for Art Deco weekends.
I am just waiting for confirmation that I can start next Sunday but the details are 10am-noon on the last Sunday of the month. The venue I have found will cost nothing and we can either bring a thermos or takeaway cuppa. It's on Marine Parade and being sunday, parking is free. Please let me know if you are interested.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
