Christchurch Wide Garage Sale Trail - 10th August 2024
Hi all,
I'm organising another Garage Sale Trail and looking for people who want to join. The object is to get Garage Sales around Christchurch on the same day, but at your place and in your own time.
1. Register on the website - It's Free or a Koha
rjmurrayphotography.wixsite.com...
2. Send 1 photo of your main item with a price
3. Send 3 photos with next best items and prices
4. Send a list of other items
5. A couple of days before I will send a Poster for you to share either print it out, or share however you choose.
6. Day before I will put the addresses up for people to see (safety first).
7. Full steam ahead - the more people in the Garage Sale Trail - the more people we'll get to come visit you.
I have made the Website and am sharing to get people to join. Once you have Registered, send me your photos so I can add to Your page on the Website.
Here's to a great day and let other people get some awesome items.
Cheers
Raewyn
Poll: Are our Kiwi summer holidays helping us recharge, or holding the economy back? ☀️🥝
There’s growing debate about whether New Zealand’s extended Christmas break (and the slowdown that comes with it) affects productivity.

Poll: Pedestrian access is being extended to the Ōtakaro Avon River - good idea?
Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.
We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?

Secure your homes over summer
Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.
Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”
Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”
If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
