Last week MECOSS held its Botany, Ormiston, Flat Bush Community Networking Meeting in the Old Flat Bush School Hall; a building of significance dating back to settlers’ times.
Built in the mid-19th century, this simple but warm and intimate wooden rural structure, started its life as a school in Baverstock Road. In 1893 the school was moved to its present location, but closed in 1929. With the building no longer required by the Education Department it fell into disrepair and was used by local farmers as a hay barn. In 1976 Flat Bush residents held an informal meeting to see what could be done about promoting a sense of community. The outcome resulted with the establishment of the Flat Bush Community Group and the Old Flat Bush School Hall became the focus of attention. Funding was raised and members restored the building to its former glory. In 1981 the hall was reopened as a community facility.
MECOSS salutes the Flat Bush Community Group for their hard work. The hall is suitable for family events and community events. For bookings and more information please contact Tina on 022 154 3941

“The Foton Tunland is the perfect ute for both work and play. It is a very versatile vehicle – it is a great workhorse with impressive power from the Cummins turbo diesel engine which enables top performance even when under a heavy payload."
"The Tunland is also built for recreation with loads of cabin space and a comfortable driving experience. All of this combined with the extremely affordable price tag makes for a fantastic package.”
Enterprise Motor Group Manukau are the only dealership in Auckland to stock the Foton Tunland. Come and see one today! 567 Great South Road Manukau.

Amy Mcauley said her daughter was on her way home from Bucklands Beach Intermediate School in east Auckland when a white man in his 30s approached her and her friends.
"It was pretty creepy for her. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to get the number plate or anything because she was too scared to get her phone out and thought she might be robbed," Mcauley said.
The incident happened in Wells Rd, Bucklands Beach and the car the man was driving was described as a dark green Toyota Corolla. Read more here.
