THE GARAGE/CAR BOOT SALE WITH THAT BIG DIFFERENCE!
YES! it's on again this coming Saturday, 6 April at UHBC's Community Centre, corner Fergusson Drive / Milton Street, Upper Hutt. Doors opening 8.30am - come and see what we're all about. Bargains galore with a free cuppa and cheesy toast triangles (while they last). We've been doing these Monthly Garage Sales since 1990, can you believe!!
Car boot sites $15 - please book by ph.528-3454 or text 0274 707 522. In addition to our regular recipients of financial support (Circuit International - improving lives in Myanmar) and Womgel in Ethiopia (sponsored through Tear Fund), we'll support Orphans Aid International this time. OAI was started by a New Zealand couple who sold their family home to set up an orphanage in Romania some years ago. The work has expanded into Uganda, Nepal and here in New Zealand. Check out their website - you'll be impressed.
Come and see why this monthly community event has been running since 1990!!
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are 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.
