St. Margaret's, Silverstream Church Fair
St. Margaret's, Dunns Street, Silverstream are holding their annual church fair on Saturday 27 October 10.00 a.m. - 1.00 p.m. If you would like to donate goods - books, good used clothing, steptoe (no computers or TV's please), sort these out over the weekend and deliver them after Tuesday. Unfortunately the church does not have any storage until then. Now that we are almost back using the church building, this fair will include all the stalls we used to have 6 years ago .... crafts, linen, good china, gifts for all occasions especially Christmas. There are the usual stalls; plants, cakes, sweets, deli and of course the excellent Cafe. Thank you for your support.

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)
