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!!
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)
.

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17
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.
