Originally I built the PC for a friend in Hawkes Bay, who is now in position he can’t afford it.
I would like $350 for the whole lot, or reasonable offer.

This year the festival will run over two weeks, 6-21 May to coincide with Techweek NZ
Last year more than 70 local businesses and organisations were involved in organising 42 events aimed at sparking conversations about STEMM and shining a spotlight on existing and future opportunities in Lower Hutt to be part of these exciting sectors.
Expressions of interest are now open until Friday 10 March for those wanting to run an event at this year’s festival. To register or find out more visit huttstemm.nz
Recycling and rubbish have been on our minds this month with constant winds blowing it everywhere. It will cost many millions to provide wheelie bins, what do you think? Comments may be used in print unless you state otherwise with NFP (not for print)

It's called the Beltway and will provide a connection between residential areas, workplaces, the hospital, public transport, schools, the CBD and shopping centres. We want to use the rail corridor to create a cycling 'spine', extending between Seaview and Taita. It will also link to the Wainuiomata shared pathway, the Eastern Bays shared pathway and Hutt River Trail.
Come along to our open session on Saturday 25 February to hear more and share your feedback on our plans. Drop in anytime from 11am to 2pm at The Dowse Art Museum, 45 Laings Road (James Coe 2 meeting room). See you there!

This one day event will explore
(i) the importance of community life, especially for people who are marginalised
(ii) influences and practices that tend to isolate people
(iii) what it takes to hold a vision for community life
(iv) how to build bridges and pathways within community life
(v) how to overcome obstacles
(vi) how to create a context for relationship, and
(vii) sustaining our efforts over time.
Janet says “this work would be helpful in discovering how to be more fully connected within our community, more fully present within our community and that learning to build and recognise bridges within community is a strong path forward. Much of what we have to work with is there already. We just need to see things in a slightly different way”

This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.

So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.
