Upcoming Event in Hataitai - International Festival of Food - BYO Picnic
**RESCHEDULED Neighbours Day Event**
We invite you, your family, friends and neighbours to join us at Hataitai Village Green to celebrate Neighbours' Day 2022 and the International Festival of Food.
We will also be officially launching our new fence mural - The Dancing Fence.
Recently a fence mural project has been undertaken, led by local artist Peter Coates, where many nationalities have been painted in their traditional dress, dancing together to show what a multi-cultural society we live in here in New Zealand.
This will be an outdoor BYO food and drinks event so bring a picnic blanket -let's hope it's a fine, sunny day! We suggest you bring a favourite dish of your chosen country with you.
In the current conditions we may not be able to share food but a wonderful suggestion is that we share recipes of national dishes.
To do this, we'd appreciate it if you could email me (by 15 May) to franceslefort@gmail.com a recipe for your favourite national dish, we'll compile a booklet to share with whoever in the community wants it.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
