Our 'Big Ram' SPCA Op Shop in Tirau officially has a name.... Henry!
Congrats to our winner John, who submitted this š The inspiration behind this suggestion was so lovely it won the hearts of our SPCA team š
Henry was submitted in memory of Henry Clothier, 1941-2021 - the 'Tin Man' credited with transforming Tirau. It was Clothierās vison for Tirau to transform the i-Site Public Toilets to be a giant corrugated-iron dog to sit alongside the established sheep-shaped wool shop of its time. All three were built from 1994-2005, and now years later Tirauās corrugated set of iron animals are standing strong on State Highway One and have become a local landmark.
We wanted to express our appreciation to all of you - our lovely supportive community who took part in sharing names for him. We loved all the amazing entries that came through š
Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?
Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval āhospitalā, without the stress of the bubonic plague.
The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
Leaving Neighbourly
Hey everyone, just a quick note to say Iām leaving Neighbourly. I joined because I thought it would be a good way to connect with people in the community, especially the older generation, and to receive advice, help, and shared knowledge.
Over time Iāve made quite a few posts genuinely looking for help or guidance, and unfortunately Iāve rarely received any responses. Most of the time itās just one or two likes and no actual comments or help, which gets pretty discouraging after a while.
I understand people are busy, but when you consistently put things out there and hear almost nothing back, it starts to feel like thereās no real point in being part of the platform. Because of that, Iāve decided itās best for me to move on.
No hard feelings ā just not the right fit for me. Wishing everyone all the best.
