County Lane Fair

Susan from Silverstream

Just a quick update, as we have just had a meeting re County lane fair and all indoor stalls are now full and only outside stalls remain. So if you are a stall holder with goods made locally regionally or within NZ then still outside stalls available. There is also room for a few more food trucks, we have plenty of Ice cream slushies, coffee, satays and Tai food trucks as well as the usual hot chips and Gumbo and spicey beans and saussuage sizzle. Joys cafe will be open for tea scones cake etc , but maybe some other ethnic varieties would be nice. Also a tiny bit of room in the gourmet food produce section. We are hoping to expand this area of stallholders to include some local produce. Over 70 stalls already booked and paid for, We also have some amusements for the children. So a real family event. and great fundraiser for the hospice. For a better feel for the fair do visit the county lane fair facebook page. You will be impressed.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

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.
