THIS SATURDAY - Waitangi Commemorations at Whakarongotai Marae
Whakarongotai Marae Trustees and Ātiawa ki Whakarongotai are busy making preparations for Waitangi Commemorations at Whakarongotai Marae, Waikanae, 3 February from 10am–5pm.
This community event is open to all, beginning with a mihi whakatau from the marae gates at 9.30am, followed by kapa haka, entertainment, historical storytelling, and activities for tamariki. High tea will be served between 11.30am and 3pm, and a hāngī lifted at 3pm – both will be available for a koha.
So, bring your foldout chairs, rain jackets and refillable water bottles and reflect on our shared history, as we celebrate the rich and diverse fabric of our district. ❤️🖤🤍
We’re proud to be supporting this event. To keep up to date with event plans, visit fb.me...

In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!

89.3% Yes, it's fair

Heirloom Tomatoes, Zucchini and Cucumber Plants at Waikanae and Otaki Markets
Rain, wind and cold - just what these veggies don't like! However, better times are on the way and you can get a head start if you have a warm sheltered spot to nurture these seedings. They are coming along well in spite of the conditions.
We'll be at Waikanae tomorrow morning OR come see us at the massive Market and Camping Expo at Otaki on Sunday from 10.00am to 4.00pm. There will be a lot going on, plenty of entertainment and foodtrucks for sustenance, plus the usual array of quality stalls.
So came and check us out. Even if you are not ready to plant just yet, we can offer advice on varieties and cultivation. If you would like the full ;list of tomato varieties available, please PM me.
