Onehunga Christmas Lights this Friday
Onehunga Christmas Lights is a spectacular, annual event being held once again in Jellicoe Park, between 7-9 pm on Friday 2 December. The Onehunga Christmas Lights is a much anticipated date in the event calendar, which is supported by the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board. It’s a great occasion for families and the community to come together and celebrate the start of the festive season. We'll sing plenty of your favorite Christmas carols.
There will be face painters, games and sports run by the local YMCA from 6pm on-wards, and do not forget to visit Santa’s Grotto at the event. Bring a picnic or choose from the delicious food stalls.
The performances start at 7pm, which will include groups from Royal Oak Primary School, Golden Grove School, Onehunga Primary School, and Royal Oak Intermediate School. The Onehunga High School Jazz Band and the Dalewood Youth Brass Band will also be performing.
The evening will finish off with the traditional lighting of the tree at 9pm.
Chicken Gizzards!
Kia ora Neighbours
I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).
I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.
If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.
Thank you!
