Heretaunga Bookfest 2022
Good news all you bibliophiles, the sale which was postponed from May will now be on 29 and 30 October 2022. We will do our usual advertising nearer the time but this is just a heads up for everyone to note in your diaries. Keep an eye on our website also for any updates in the meantime. www.bookfest.org.nz...
We will also have smaller sale at the Trentham Racecourse Boot Sale on 30 July plus be at the Upper Hutt Spring Festival on 10 September. Hopefully we will be at the racecourse Night Market on 18 November as well.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
