Happy New Year from all of us at Magpie Market

We have a small market to start the New Year, tomorrow (Saturday 4th January) at Meeanee Hall from 10 - 2. This proved a really lovely event last year - super relaxed and friendly with some nice stalls. Come along and enjoy a relaxed browse after all the mad buying of Christmas and Boxing day. Maybe get a head start on birthday presents or let the kids spend the last of their Christmas money.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
