Thankyou all so much

Susan from Silverstream

Thankyou all so much for your attendance at the County Laner Fair. Despite the weather a reasonable crowd turned up. The venue, from the feed back so far worked well. There was certainly a great atmosphere and as one stall holder so aptly said " a great bus from artists of the region as they networked and shared ideas and experiences." The rain poured down and the outside stalls need a medal for their endurance of the elements. Nevertheless people came. Fantastic Art crafts were the comments,
I have just had some of that delicious Salami.MMM +++
The wine I bought also promises to be great when I open it.
So thanks a lot. from Silverstream Lions and on behalf of Te Omanga Hospice.
Also to the RDA who rented their premisis for a vey modest sum, and without whom we could not have proceeded.
A big thanks also to the Army cadets who did us proud. Such amazing lads who were in the thick of the downpour directing traffic .Would love more feedback from those who attended

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17

Michael from Trentham

Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?

This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.

Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.

Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.

The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.

Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
