Christmas Market
Wow, we planned a lovely Xmas Market for this Saturday 17th November and the response has been fantastic. From 4 - 8pm in the Meeanee Hall we will have 40 stalls selling lovely, unique top quality items of every imaginable sort. You should be able to pick up all your Christmas presents in one happy, easy evening. The atmosphere will be lots of fun with live music and Santa for the kids - big and little. And for the rumbling tummies there's a sausage sizzle and hot pizza and treats from the kitchen - and the lovely Tania will have her coffee cart there with hot drinks so everything is covered. Come and support local and have fun doing it. Meeanee Hall 4 - 8pm this Saturday 17th November - see you all there.
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)

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
