Tauwhare Hall Committee Annual General Meeting
is on Wednesday 12 September 2018 at 7.30pm

This past year, the Committee has focused on maintenance and improvement projects around the outside of the Hall. The car park resealing is finally underway, with temporary repairs complete and a resealing in the spring, when the weather should be better for it. A new front fence is also being built soon.
The current Committee is Craig Sharman, Pippa Berry-Cope, Adelle Cooke, Lockie Verner, Janine Broekhuizen, Heather Mollekin, and David Mollekin.
We have three Committee members who have now left the district, and two others who are definitely standing down at this year’s AGM (due to other community commitments). We need new committee members to keep a functioning committee going. We need you!
The amount of time required from Committee members is usually to attend 4 meetings a year, with each meeting taking around 1 ½ hours. This is to discuss and organise various tasks that keep the Hall running, such as taking bookings and arranging maintenance work to be carried out. The Hall Committee would welcome people who like to organise social events for the community too.
Being on the Hall Committee is a great way to meet local people and make a contribution to the community, through the running of our much used and enjoyed Hall.

Fiona from Hillcrest

If you need any work done on your tv aerial BEWARE of Phillip Edwards of Aerial Plus! He did a TERRIBLE job for me and Ive had to get another company to come and fix it up. Apparently Im not the only person who has paid him to do such a shoddy job.

Do you support the teachers' strike?

Hi neighbours,

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.

So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!

Our front page story today features three Hamilton high schoolers who made a plea to fast food giant McDonald's to adopt a 'straw on request' policy, but the burger chain shrugged off the request. Do you think it's reasonable for staff to ask customers whether they want a straw rather than automatically dishing them out with every drink? Let us know in the poll and comments below, but please refrain from negative discussion.

The community can now make a submission regarding Waikato District Council’s Proposed Plan.

Key changes between the current Operative Plan and the Proposed Plan include:

• The adding of around 60 heritage sites and buildings, along with 16 notable trees to their respective lists. The rules have been amended to provide for ongoing maintenance and care or repair.
• A consistent residential zone and redeveloped village zone, along with three business zones. Additional residential zone areas have also been created in Tuakau, Pokeno, Te Kowhai, Taupiri, Ngaruawahia and Horotiu to allow for growth, along with an additional industrial zoned area in Huntly.
• Under the Taangata Whenua chapter, flexible provisions have been created that give more options for those with Maaori Freehold Land.

Community drop-in sessions will be held in August and September throughout the district - find out more here.
