We heard fromJulie Lee, the regional and national coordiinator for Time Bank and from Ange Wylie, coordinator for Time Bank Hurunui. Lots of good ideas were offered by the audience about following up on last night's meeting. The next step will be to establish a steering group to work through what needs to be done to get Time Bank Waimakariri established. For those who are interested but couldn't make the meeting and would like to register your interest in being involved you can contact me at allenp@xtra.co.nz
HI
I need a person or couple to look after my home, animals and land for the period from 4 July until 13 August this year. I have dogs, a cat and some cattle (which will look after themselves). Nothing too demanding and no need to be there 24/7.
I am needing a hand this weekend to get some small and medium sized pines down and into rings for splitting , 2 chainsaws working together are better than 1 . Maybe 4 hours of cutting @ $50 per hour . I can supply fuel and chain oil . Easy acces on block in loburn. Text me on 021 864 988

Based from the Rangiora Race Course teams of 2-4 riders compete to see who can do the most laps of the 8km course in 6 hours. The track used in this race is suitable for riders of all abilities combining single-track through river-side bush and wider stop-bank roads.
The Rakahuri Rage is open to 12 years and older and has categories to suit all age groups and gender mixes.
Landowners had been misled as a huge pile of more than 600,000 tyres stacked up near Amberley, posing a fire risk and skims the border of legality.
If you are looking to move to Christchurch - talk to James Keir at Harcourts The Palms - office opening soon.
