Get a taste of sailing and boating

Annette Lambly-Robinson Reporter from Whangārei Leader

On Monday 30th January Whangarei Cruising Club are holding a Club Open day and inviting people of all ages and abilities to come along and get a taste of sailing and boating.
This event is a part of Volvo Sailing & Boating Week 2017, a nationwide initiative from Yachting New Zealand to celebrate and showcase the sport.

From 10am onwards, the public is invited to a relaxed Family Fun Day out at the club’s Parua Bay facilities to kick off the sailing season. There will be a range of sailing and boating activities to try including sailing, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding.
The Volvo Sailing...Have a Go! trailer will be there so there will be a range of boats available with instructors and other sailors around to show you how it is done, or just take you for a joyride! Lifejackets will be provided. This is special opportunity to experience the thrills and excitement of Sailing!

This is suitable for all ages so take the whole family for a great chance to get out on the water and trying fun activities!

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?

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?
