County Lane Fair back by popular request
On Sunday 3rd Novem,ber, Silverstream Lions will again be hosting out Te Omanga Hospice Fundraiser, " The County Lane Fair". The venue is the Riding for the disabled arena on County Lane, off Fergusson drive, and near the golf range.Last year we were able to give the Hospice 10 000 dollars with 7500 dollars being raised directly from the fair. We have already exceeded last years number of stall holders and hope to beat last years funds raised. We cant do this without our wonderful community support. So wet or fine we will be there. and hope you will be too. Ample parking, a gold coin donation entry. Lots for everyone and the atmosphere last year was great. Lots of indoor stalls as well as outdoor stalls . All we need is the community and a prayer for good weather. See you there 10am-3pm see us on FACEBOOK under County Lane Fair.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?

New World Khandallah parking warning and appeal to nearby business owners
For very valid reasons (local commuters abuse) the New World has allowed the draconian Smartcomply company to police their carpark on their behalf.
Smartcomply will hit you with an $85 'fine' if you stay one second beyond the 60 minutes allowed.
Can I appeal to all nearby business's (especially eateries) to display a clearly visible "ARE YOU PARKED IN THE NEW WORD CARPARK' notice so customers can be warned about the possibility of an unpleasant post dining experience surprise.
A local eatery, and New World itself, could lose future custom due Smartcomply's excessive actions, as is likely our case.
Indeed I would urge any business local to a Smartcomply operation to implement a "ARE YOU PARKED IN ..........." notice if they wanted to avoid a lose in trade.
Here is the link to their Terms and Conditions that all entrants to a carpark under their control are expected to notice and read.
