The market has grown far beyond what we had anticipated. We are not able to take any further bookings for stalls as we are running out of room. To be able to fit in the stall holders that we have we ask that ALL stall holders try and reduce their foot print / space. Get up close to each other and be really friendly, after all it is supposed to be a friendly happy market. We will be trying a new idea in the placing of stalls on the 18th November so please help, cooperation from all stall holders will be very much appreciated. We may also have to have another meeting with council to see how we can grow a little. I have to say that we have had some really great feed back from visitors to the market as well as from stall holders. The market is organised by the North Canterbury Model Railway Club Inc.

High winds last night and fireworks do not … View moreWe were not impressed to be awoken by fireworks being let off at midnight last night. Somewhere in the vicinity of Oxford Rd, Oakwood Dr area. Is this what we have to look forward to for the next couple of months. When are these things going to be banned. High winds last night and fireworks do not make a good combination.
I don't mind public displays, but I've never been able to understand why we have to celebrate something that has nothing to do with us

Family of dolls

Pretty in Pink. I am a tall girl 60 cm. I also have a little blond sister in her own cane chair, a Chinese sister, Kim Yi, a big sister (57cm) with long brunette hair and several other siblings. Our Mum can't keep us any more due to lack of room so we are looking for adoptive mothers.

A riverside town in North Canterbury is aiming to become a popular destination, with canal boats, events and riverside shopping all part of future plans for its town centre.

The Waimakariri District Council adopted the Kaiapoi Town Centre Plan this week following a month-long public consultation process.

The plan aims to make Kaiapoi "New Zealand's Best Rivertown'' and says it has the potential to become a vibrant destination. It seeks to build on recent improvements to the town centre, such as the Ruataniwha Kaiapoi Civic Centre, the redesign of Williams St and the almost completed marine precinct.
