Retro Ride 2024 - advice please

Bob Selden from The Greasy Chain Charitable Trust

Hello, Bob Selden here from the Greasy Chain Charitable Trust. Each Wellington Anniversary weekend, the Trust organises a Retro Ride and we have tentatively planned one for Sunday 21st January and I need some help please!
The people who previously organised our last one, are away and we have no-one on our board who has any contacts with retro cycles/cycling. Love to hear from anyone who would like to enter (once we have about 15 at least it will be worth running) and also from anyone who can lend a hand.
The business community in the CBD through their rep body Palmy BID are keen to have the event go ahead, which is great. We’re also fortunate that the Retro Ride would be on the Sunday following the Gravel & Tar on Saturday 20th and preceding the National Criterium Championships held at Massey on Monday 22nd – so there should be quite a few people around who have an interest in cycling.

Please let me know your interest.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
