CHB Active Ageing Expo
Age Concern Hawke's Bay are very pleased to announce that we are hosting the CHB Active Ageing Expo in conjunction with the International Day of the Older Persons Celebration here in Waipukurau on September 21st 2023. Expo will be held at the Centralines Sports Complex from 10am-1pm. Entrance is on the side by the Scout Hall.
Our Expo/Celebration has been planned for older persons and their families who at times struggle with not knowing “what’s out there for seniors”. Our aim is to bring together under one roof service providers and other organisations (e.g. clubs) from around Hawke's Bay to present a wide array of interesting and informative displays representing all facets of today's lifestyles for older people. The expo will provide the older community opportunity to find out about service providers and other organisations available to them in a relaxed, informal atmosphere.
The Expo will be a free community event. We will be providing a shuttle service between Waipukurau and Waipawa to help ensure anyone who wishes to attend can.
The first 200 attendees will go home a FREE goodie bag.
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?
