HB Show volunteers
We are after a couple of last volunteers to help us collect tickets at the Hawkes Bay Show this Friday the 25th of October (HB Anniversary day)
Shifts range from 1.5-2.5 hours with the longer shifts being in the morning. Your job will be to smile, greet guests, collect tickets and if anyone doesnt have tickets to point them to the ticket booth.
You will need to be able to stand for your entire shift (so unfortunately no chairs). Anyone under 18 is welcome but you will need a parent or guardian to be there with you during your shift.
There is a little incentive for helping us out :) ...If you are interested please get intouch ASAP either via email amber.mcarthur@redcross.org.nz or call 027 236 0559.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
