Poll: Do you think Santa parades are a core service for councils?
South Waikato district councillors will soon face the vexed question of whether Santa Parades are core council services, or simply “nice to haves”.
Last year was the first time in 35 years Tokoroa locals missed seeing Santa Claus roll down Bridge St after volunteers from the Tokoroa City Lions Club pulled the pin on their annual parade due to escalating costs for health and safety and traffic management regulations.

The oar-some Wellington Rowing Club novice women's crew are fundraising so we can make it to the NZ National Rowing Championships in February. We would love for our mahi to pay off and bring home some medals to Pōneke!
As part of our fundraising efforts we will be holding a raffle. We are reaching out to local businesses, hoping we can receive some items/vouchers to raffle off, please get in touch if you can help us out with a raffle donation!
Additionally, we are crowd-funding to raise funds givealittle.co.nz...
Thank you in advance!
