Brilliant Tuesday mornings for stroke survivors and anyone with a disability or alone
On Tuesday mornings from 9.30 am until midday, there is a gathering at the Senior Citizens Hall in Greerton. My Husband Mike, has been going there for the past 5.5 years and he loves it! A lovely morning tea is served and bingo, quizzes and general conversation is part of this. It also enables caregivers to have their loved ones or people in their care, to have a few hours off knowing that their people are being so well looked after. At Christmas there is a lovely Xmas Lunch at a restaurant. All costs for this are covered by the small weekly fee paid to cover cost of hall, morning tea etc and it really is cheap! We arrive at 10 am so no need for a very early start. For further information contact Roger on 5782797 or myself on 5441578.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
