Book Discussion Group formation and invite
We are a group of three recent arrivals to the great city of Hamilton and would like to form a book discussion group under the auspices of the New Zealand Book Discussion Service ( BDS ). So far we have four people interested and would like the group to be around 8 to 10 in size.
If you need to know more, please go to www.bds.org.nz... to find out more about this wonderful service and it’s protocols for operating a book group in our community.
If you would like to be in this new Hamilton based group please send me something about yourself, your interests, book group experience and you contact details.
We are happy to coordinate the group set up and facilitate the first meeting and take it from there
Regards
Graeme Ludemann
Stand-Out Festive Decor: Build a Big DIY Nutcracker
Whip up a larger-than-life nutcracker and have it standing guard to greet guests this Christmas. This is an ideal opportunity to repurpose last year’s baubles, leftover Resene paint testpots and leftover materials from previous projects. You could use an old cardboard box for the body and cover it in fabric scraps. Find out how to make your own nutcracker with these easy step by step instructions.
Vandalism is costing ratepayers - what can be done to better protect our public spaces?
Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.
The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
If you witness vandalism in progress, please contact the police immediately.
We want to know: Do you have ideas on how we can better protect our public spaces?
