Meet in the middle community event this weekend
Are you looking for something fun to do this weekend that's FREE and not too far to travel . 'Meet in the Middle’ on Saturday the 12th of October celebrates Te Ara Ōtākaro, the transitional city-to-sea Avon River Trail and its role in the regeneration of the east.
This is an opportunity for people to come along the trail on foot or bike from either direction (city or sea) and meet in the middle at Kerrs Reach for a riverside family fun day with kids activities, food, beverage and info stands, a multi-code exhibition regatta, as well as free live entertainment on stage 11-3pm with Anika Moa as the Headline Act .
If you want to know more about activities and events or you need help / advice on any matter why not pop in and see us at our weekly clinic. We are at The Loft every Tuesday 11am - 2pm .
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
