Dianne from Hamilton East

Can anybody tell me if there is anywhere in Hamilton that has a similar Exercise 'circuit' (donated by Rotary) similar to the one that is located at Te Koutu park in Cambridge near the Children's playground/Bowling club.  Many thanks.

Whether you're hitting the street to trick or treat, or staying inside with the the candy bowl by your side - here's some Neighbourly Halloween tips to ensure that this Tuesday is a fun and safe experience for you and your neighbours!

1. Set up a Halloween Group for your street! Plan your Halloween evening with your neighbours to see what time everyone is taking the kids out. You could even co-ordinate matching costumes!

2. Download one of our SPOOKY Neighbourly Halloween posters to stick on your house or letterbox for if:
- You welcome all trick or treaters
- You want trick or treaters to stay away

3. Stay in areas of your neighbourhood that are familiar and are well lit. And although Halloween is supposed to be spooky, be careful not to frighten your elderly neighbours by popping out of the dark!

Stay safe and have fun!

Halloween is creeping up! Our recent Halloween Survey has revealed what New Zealanders REALLY think of Halloween. Did you know that only 1 in 10 households give out healthy snacks to trick or treaters, or that our favourite thing to dress up as is a ‘witch’?

We found out that some participants have some pretty wacky costume ideas like; ‘Donald Trump', ‘an inflatable flamingo’ a ‘popcorn vendor’ and ‘grumpy grannies’. Comment below with what you'll be dressing up as this year!

Saga of the mislaid sun glassies

Rosaleen from Hamilton East

To all those who wondered what became of my $700 sunglasses temporarily mislaid and speedily sold for $2 by the Hospice Shop in Claudelands, the story unfolded like this. I  never heard from the Hospice Shop or sighted my sun glasses again. But I did hear from my opticians, Paterson Burn. … View moreTo all those who wondered what became of my $700 sunglasses temporarily mislaid and speedily sold for $2 by the Hospice Shop in Claudelands, the story unfolded like this. I  never heard from the Hospice Shop or sighted my sun glasses again. But I did hear from my opticians, Paterson Burn. Imagine my delight when I got a call offering to replace my sunglasses - lens, frames, the lot - at no cost to me. They had read the sorry saga on Stuff even before I had read it myself. I was gobsmacked. It is not as though I am a big time customer. I have only been there a few times. My experience taught me two things:
a) You never know your luck in a big city
b) I'm glad I went to Paterson Burn
