Workshop on Funding a Community Writing Project
Sunday 17 March 2024, 11.00 am - 2.00 pm
In combination with our AGM, the Northland Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors will host an event at the Number One Lounge of the McKay Stadium – a chance to network with other writers, and shamelessly self-promote your work!
• All welcome – members and non-members
• Sale of books – new and second-hand
• Authors invited to sell their own publications, and present an elevator pitch during lunch
• BYO lunch, or purchase from the cafe
KEYNOTE PRESENTATION:
HOW TO DEVELOP AND FUND A COMMUNITY WRITING PROJECT
(As we already have nominations for key roles, it is anticipated that the formal parts of the event will be conducted expeditiously. Of course, further nominations from financial members are welcome on the day.)
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're 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.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
