Books, Bagels & Banter
WATCH THIS SPACE Next week we’ll be announcing our exciting line-up of speakers for Books, Bagels & Banter so check in then to meet the speakers and for ticketing details.
A huge thank you to members of the St Andrew’s community who have donated books, given their time to sort these and so much more. We still have a large number of books to sort so if you can spare an hour or two on Wednesday, please come to the Church hall
between 9am and 12 noon.
We also need volunteers on the weekend of the event, particularly people to sell books - if you can lend a hand, message us or let Karen know at the office.
St Andrew’s is well-known for its hospitality and we wish to extend this to everyone who attends the opening night on Friday 24th May. If you are able to make a donation to help cover some of the expenses please contact the office – any amount will be gratefully received.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
