Supporting locals
Zealandier Tours is up and running tours again. First one is on Sunday. Our first scheduled day trips have filled very quickly from our regular travel club members - but we still have some spaces on a few trips. Our aim is to support locals before we venture away from the area. Our next available Support Locals trip is on June 26th and we have another scheduled for July 12th.
Keep an eye in the Weekend Sun classifieds for our upcoming trips. Our Travel Club catalogue is still a work in progress at present and should be ready for distribution at end of month. If you wish to join our travel groups for outings just contact us and we will add you to our data base and post out a catalogue in due course. If you want more details about trips give us a call - we are all back in the office now. Our Travel Club is free to join - and we offer Door to Door Pick Up / Drop Off service for our tours.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
