Time: 10am – 3pm
Location: Historic Village, Tauranga
Visitors have free entry. Food vans, music, competitions, and entertainment throughout the day.
STALLHOLDERS:
Registering your a 2 x 2.4m stall and table (cost $200), gives you priority entry to our free two-hour workshop being held on 26th September which will give you some ideas of the why and how of exhibiting.
If you need to fundraise for the registration fee, think about perhaps holding a bake sale, raffle, morning tea, garage sale or the sale of products before or during the event.

The Sallies are looking for people to visit an older person who may be lonely and socially isolated, either weekly or fortnightly for approximately one hour.

The older person may like you to take them on an outing occasionally, or perhaps a walk but most of them are happy to sit and have a cup of tea and a chat. Both the older person and the visitor enjoy the friendship that develops from this regular contact. If you like to chat with interesting folk and also have the patience to listen, this is the role for you!
You will need to be over 18 years of age and see this as a longer term commitment.
