Market Day
Hi everyone, it's that time again! The Magpie Market is on in Meeanee Hall corner Meeanee Rd and Gavin Black Street this coming Saturday, 7th July from 10 -2. We are indoors so it's warm and friendly and relaxed. There will be over 30 stalls with a huge variety of goods. You can get a great coffee and a treat from the Heaven's Bakery caravan, or a sausage sizzle to enjoy as you browse. Buy anything and you enter the draw for our lovely hamper of goodies too. So come along and say hello.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
